For centuries, the Red String Protection Bracelet 🎀 has been worn as a symbol of protection, good luck, connection, faith and strength. Various cultures might have different views about the red thread, but they are similar, as the red thread makes for a powerful bracelet.

Wearing a red string bracelet around your left wrist is a tradition used to ward off misfortune and darkness brought about by the evil eye.

It is believed that in order to succeed in this life and achieve all the goals you have, you need to protect yourself from the evil eye. Negativity, bad feelings, and the evil eye of people around you may affect you carelessly; unintentionally, or on purpose.

Generally the red string bracelets were worn by practitioners of four different faiths, Hinduism, Kabbalah, Buddhism and Christianity. It is often made of thin wool, some may have knots tied into them, and some include beads or ornaments like the evil eye or Hamsa as an added symbol of protection.

    My Polish maternal grandfather tied a red string around my sister’s wrist as a symbol of the initiation to the witchcraft he was teaching her.

    I was taught by Kabbalist that the red string should only be tied on the wrist when you have made a commitment never to say a bad thing about anyone.
