It is difficult to find another more ancient symbol for magical rituals than the knot. There are a huge number of them and they all have their own special magical essence, which is twofold. On the one hand, all knots are tied in a special way, and in the sacraments this means tying something or capturing it. On the other hand, each knot can be untied, which means freeing oneself from influence or attachment. At the same time, the knot itself retains the general idea of the sacrament. Each knot carries a magical load, it is important why it was tied. This could be attracting happiness, love, success to a person or home, or it could be the opposite - damage, sadness, or other negative aspects of life.
The knot as a magical symbol among different peoples
Each people, depending on their occult preferences, interpreted the meaning of the nodes differently:
- In Ancient Egypt, priests were of great importance in people's lives, who considered the knot to be the concentration of the power of magic. With their help, the priests first captured and then held back spirits and other natural forces. Based on the knots, they created complex multi-layered amulets to protect a person from the “evil eye” or diseases.
- The ancient Greek legend that has come down to us tells about the Gordian knot. The Macedonian did not spend a long time looking for a solution and unraveling the complex rope tied by King Gordius - but cut it. In those days, a cleverly tied thread was considered a symbol of science and its inaccessibility to everyone, because in order to unravel it, you need to look for different options that are not available to everyone. Macedonian, in this case, took advantage of his main rule - the right of the strong.
- The Slavic culture of the ancient Magi also considered knots to be magical protective talismans against the undead and the evil eye. This was especially true for girls - they wore a thin red belt with knots to prevent damage. Sometimes they put a fishing net on the bride, consisting of hundreds of knotted threads with a belt of forty knots, and a prayer was read over each of them. This attitude towards the tied threads was due to the belief that the witch and the sorcerer would not reach the person until they had dealt with all the ties.
How to make
To make a unit, you need to stock up on the following materials:
- cords or threads;
- scissors;
- candle;
- matches.
Cords or threads are used in various thicknesses and lengths
Cords or threads are used in various thicknesses and lengths. This depends on the size of the node itself. If you plan to make a large knot, it is better to use curtain cord. Its ends are wrapped with tape, as they will unwind. If you plan to weave a small knot, you can take a thin waxed or cotton cord. To make the knot look more elegant, you can take a decorative rope - finishing braid, soutache, leather ropes.
Matches are needed to burn the ends of the cord, since many of them come untied. It is better to wrap the ends of the cotton cord with tape. Additionally, you can use various jewelry elements - beads, seed beads, pendants. This amulet decoration will look especially beautiful above the front door, above the windowsill, in the corner of the room.
Longevity knot meaning
One of the most common and complex is the longevity or infinity knot. It is tied in such a way that it is impossible to find where one end begins and the other ends. The complexity of the weave is explained by its meaning. The Tibetan knot, as it is otherwise called, is one of the eight symbols of Tibetan Buddhists. It opens the way to knowledge of the great secret of immortality, as well as unfading youth and beauty. The continuity of the line, its infinity, encourages a person to be patient and remain consistent in achieving his goals, and the complexity of tying it speaks of the complexity of the path of knowledge.
In the Vajrayana system - the yogic occult practice of Buddhist traditions, the interpretation of this symbol is more complex and profound. In this system, the Infinity Knot personifies universal justice and is considered a symbol of fate entangling everything earthly with its threads. Its complex interweavings stretching into infinity express the main karmic law - everything has consequences. Thoughts, actions, deeds done by a person will certainly affect him over time. Every time, unraveling a problem or difficulty in one place, our fate, according to the karmic laws of the Universe, ties it up in another place.
In Buddhist philosophy, the knot determines the inseparability of the concepts of compassion and wisdom - the main qualities of life that help to cope with internal contradictions and imperfections of the world. This symbol has become part of meditation, helping to understand oneself and the Universe around.
Slavic amulets for love
The love amulet used by the ancient Slavs symbolized the unification of past and future events: every step taken has an echo in the future. The knot endowed its bearer with wisdom and longevity. It represents six eights. The number 6 brings good luck, and 8 is a symbol of eternity.
The energy balance that the amulet attracts turns life into a fairy tale. Relations between lovers are harmonized, passion does not subside. Trust and mutual understanding always reign in a couple. And all these positive changes are thanks to the amulet for love.
Double Luck Knot
Improving your financial situation and harmony in your relationship with your loved one will bring a double knot of luck. The current time period is the eighth, and in the double knot the eight is used eight times.
The positive influence of the talisman increases many times over - it is important not to miss the opportunity to become happy. The protective symbol is also a talisman, as it protects its bearer from unfortunate events, meetings with ill-wishers, and accidents.
The energy wave emanating from the symbol of happiness extends to more than one person. He can serve as a protector for all family members.
For example, a double knot can be hung in a personal car or used as a keychain. Girls can turn a double knot into a decoration - a pendant on their neck will look very stylish. The amulet helps pupils and students learn new information.
Mystical knot of luck
In the East, the “mystical knot” amulet is popular; it is also called the “four-leaf clover.” It is widely used in jewelry. Its mystical properties attract an endless series of successful events to a person.
Its wearer always feels happiness, peace of mind, and tranquility. The direction of its impact depends on the location and mood of a person during the creation of the amulet.
If you do not pay attention to the symbol, you should not expect positive changes. You must remember him and thank him. By putting good energy into a mystical knot, you will receive the same charge in your direction.
How to use the Endless Knot amulet
The knot representing infinity can be used as an amulet. It is most often worn around the neck (like a pendant) or on the wrist (like a pendant on a bracelet).
The powerful energy of the amulet gives a person confidence in his abilities - he can easily overcome all obstacles on the path of life.
Amulet knot of longevity
Many symbols that had special meaning in ancient times have lost their relevance over time. The knot of longevity continues to be an important component of magic and philosophy of knowledge. This is due to its complexity. Each time a person discovers in a new way the depth and subtlety of its creation, the complexity of decoding.
A Tibetan knot, made in the form of an amulet pendant, puts its owner in a state of balance and harmony, helps to understand the meaning and reasons for committing certain actions.
It is important to understand that the infinity knot is not a magic wand. It begins to act only if a person uses it consciously, transmits his desires through it to the Universe and makes efforts to realize them. He does not fulfill the wishes of the “owner” - he gives an impetus and helps to concentrate to achieve a victorious goal.
Creating a knot amulet
Following all the rules of the ancient ancestors and adhering to Slavic beliefs, you can create a talisman with your own hands. If the desire to become happy, rich and successful is sincere, then a knot amulet will definitely help.
- Take the thread in your hands - the first knot is located exactly in the center. Say quietly (you can whisper): “I’m tying a knot - I’m bringing love to myself. Knot of love - call happiness to me.” The plot is read after each knot.
- Pull one end of the thread, folded in half, into the first knot. Pull the end of the bent thread into the second loop. Tie a third knot on top of the first two. The unused end of the thread should be pulled through the removed loop.
- Pull the resulting weave a little. The described steps are also performed on the right and left sides. After this, the nauz is completely ready to protect you from harm.
- The thoughts that arise in your head during work will be transferred to the talisman - take this moment into account. Try to think only about pleasant things. You can wear the knot yourself, or you can give it to a loved one.

Infinity knot in feng shui
Feng Shui is the philosophy of changing the space around you. The knot has always been used here as a symbol that helps to find good luck, achieve prosperity and success.

Knot magic for money - knot of wealth
A large amount of money and prosperity are not always the same concepts. Real prosperity is manifested in daily stability, the presence of various property and, most importantly, a feeling of happiness.
A bundle of prosperity attracts not banknotes, but material well-being. You don’t have to buy new goods yourself - they may be given to you as a gift. The talisman helps you come to a reasonable decision: you will forget about unnecessary acquisitions.
Red thread is usually used as material for a money talisman. It’s not for nothing that this color has long been considered a money color. A red thread the length of a human elbow is taken and every time you receive money, a knot is tied in it.

Tibetan knot: legends about its appearance
One says that the knot was presented as a gift to the sage of the Shakya clan as the eighth symbol, along with seven more gifts - golden fish, a precious vessel, a conch shell, a lotus flower, an umbrella, a wheel and a victory banner. The second legend claims that the knot was given to the Buddha by God Ganesha to decorate his heart. There is a third opinion about the appearance of the node. The Tibetan knot is nothing more than an improved symbol of Ancient Egypt, transferred to India - kundalini (2 intertwined snakes biting their own tail.)
You can buy a knot and draw it on a piece of paper, but it’s better to do it yourself, investing energy and meaning into why you are doing it. The meaning is twofold. The finished knot can be either tightened or unraveled on one side, or loosened or braided on the other, thereby releasing energy or confining it. You can make a knot for love, for business, or for health. Whatever a person wants, with his desires and aspirations. And the node will help.
Where should the symbol be?
In order for your symbol of immortality to work, you must carry its image with you. For example, it could be a color photo or a hand-drawn picture.
If you like to wear homemade jewelry, then you can make the symbol yourself by tying it on a string, twine, ribbon or regular shoe lace. The finished unit can be carried with you, for example, in a pocket, purse, or purse.
If you wish, you can purchase a real infinity knot amulet, for example, engraved on a metal plate, pendant, or bracelet. However, in the first and second cases, before drawing, taking a photo with you, tying a string or putting on a finished product, you need to listen to mantras and say your desire, a positive message.
Where else are nodes used?
Knots symbolizing endless power, strength, might and unity can be seen on the flag of the Kazakh Khanate. This state was located on the territory where modern Kazakhstan is located. It was formed in 1465, and sank into oblivion in 1847. The canvas itself had a bright blue color. On the left side there were three white stars depicted on it. And in the center is an endless sign, or knot.
Assembly manufacturing diagram
It's not so easy to do, but it can be done. The main rule is 1-3-1-3-2-1-3-1-1 (under one-over three-under one-over three-and down-under two-over one-under three-over one). We take a long, three meters, thread, rope, ribbon. We make serpentine loops on the plane. We take the right end of the rope and pass it upward over the ropes according to the principle - 1-3-1-3. then we take the left end of the rope and thread it down under 2-1-3-1-1 ropes. In the end, all that remains is to align the loops and petals and tighten them in different directions.
Thus, anyone can make a knot as a talisman.
General information about the symbol
An infinity node is depicted as a line closed on all sides. The energy according to this symbol is closed. Therefore, it moves in a circle. In this case, the movement itself occurs at all ends of the sign.
The knot itself is a rather symbolic element. Initially it needs to be tied. This must be done to create a special karmic connection between the rope and its owner.
While tying a knot, a certain situation is imagined or a wish is voiced. The end of the knot should be cut off. With this gesture, you reflect the seriousness of your intentions, abandon your past problems, and ease internal tension.
Is it possible to combine the knot with other talismans?
It is quite possible to combine a knot for happiness with any other sign. For example, it can be in tandem with a money talisman. They say that in this way the flow of monetary energy only increases. It is like an unlimited source of energy that moves in a circle and can never run out. For example, along with an infinity knot, carry with you a miniature horseshoe, a bag of decorative coins, a “raking spoon” and other money talismans.
At your choice, such talismans can be not only homemade (stored within your home), but also personal (wearable, they can be stored in wallets, pockets, bags).
