Many modern witches utilize knot magic as a simple, discreet form of spellwork to manifest goals and provide protection. This ancient magical practice involves deliberately tying knots in a cord while focusing intensely on a specific intention, then carrying or wearing the cord as a type of talisman. Though often overlooked, knot magic is an extremely versatile and subtle craft that fits easily into everyday life.
To perform knot magic, you’ll first need some supplies:
- Cord or thin rope made of natural fibers like cotton, hemp, or silk. Leather strips or thin ribbons also work.
- A visualization of your desired outcome
- An item to represent the intention (optional) - like a small crystal, coin, or herb
To begin, hold the cord taut in your hands and clear your mind. Focus solely on the goal at hand, like protection, healing, love, prosperity, etc. As you tie the first knot, pour your energy into it and imagine the magic sealing your purpose within the cord. Continue tying additional knots, charging each one. Most spells involve 3-9 knots total.
For added power, you can say an incantation as you tie knots. Or insert a symbolic item into the knots, like a rosebud for love. When finished, wear the knotted cord around your neck, wrist, or waist discreetly. You can also hang it in a hidden spot at home or work to create an inconspicuous talisman.
The knots act like a container keeping the magic intact. As you move through your day, the spell remains active, only known by you. Your intentions manifest gradually with the cord's constant subtle energy influence.
For dismantling, simply untie the knots in reverse order while visualizing the magic dissolving. Knot magic provides a portable, subtle method of spellcraft perfect for the discreet witch's craft!

Here are some examples of specific knot spells and the intentions they can be used for:

How to charge your knots
Here are some methods to "charge" knotted cords and infuse them with magical energy and intention:
• Visualization - As you tie each knot, vividly visualize your goal manifesting. See the cords glowing with power.
• Incantations - Chant a short phrase or spell related to your purpose as you tie the knots. Rhymes help focus energy.
• Moonlight - Leave the knotted cord out under the moonlight overnight, which many believe imbues it with magic.
• Moon phases - Tie knots during specific moon cycles aligned with your goal, like a full moon for abundance or a new moon for new starts.
• Essential oils - Anoint the cords with oils related to your purpose before knotting, like peppermint for clarity or lavender for peace.
• Breathwork - Consciously breathe energy into each knot as you tie it. Visualize your breath, giving it power.
• Ritual tools - Pass the cords through the smoke of incense or over a candle flame to add magical properties.
• Divine invocation - Call upon deities or guides for their blessing as you charge the knotted talisman.
• Chants - Recite magical chants, charms, or incantations while knotting to reinforce your intentions.
The key is focusing your emotional and mental energy completely on your magical goal during the tying process. Combining methods amplifies the power you infuse into your knotted cord talisman.
Best colors for cord spells
Using different colored cords or ribbons can add symbolic meaning and power to knot magic spells. Here are some suggested color correspondences:
Red - passion, strength, courage, lust
Pink - love, romance, affection, relationships
Orange - creativity, confidence, vitality
Yellow - intellect, communication, optimism
Green - growth, prosperity, fertility, luck
Blue - tranquility, understanding, protection
Purple - wisdom, intuition, psychic ability
Black - banishing, binding, protection
White - purity, truth, cleansing
Silver - psychic energy, moon magic, feminine power
Gold - success, prosperity, sun energy, masculinity
You can choose a single color that aligns strongly with your intention. For example, pink for self-love or green for a prosperity spell.
Or combine colors that hold related attributes:
- Red and pink for love
- Blue and purple for divination
- Green and gold for abundance
Additionally, use one color as your "base" cord and tie knots with a contrasting color to symbolically "seal" in energies, like a prosperity spell sealed with white knots.
Let color symbolism and your intuition guide you in selecting the perfect shades for your knot magic. The visual cues will help direct energies in alignment with your desired outcome.
