Knot Magick

The simplest form of knot magick is to tie nine knots in a cord, alternating them from each end and working towards the center. Concentrate on what you wish to achieve, and then release it into the knot. There are several variations on this accompanying chant:

By the knot of one, the spell’s begun
By the knot of two, my wish come true
By the knot of three, the magick’s free
By the knot of four, my will be law
By the knot of five, the spell will thrive
By the knot of six, the magick fix
By the knot of seven, my words to heaven
By the knot of eight, the magick create
By the knot of nine, this thing be mine.

Put the cord somewhere safe and leave it as long as you wish the spell to work. When you wish to undo the spell, undo or cut the knots.

You do not have to use heavy cord for magick - thread or ribbon will work too. It doesn’t have to be nine feet long, but it does work best if the measurement is in some multiple of three: three inches, three feet, six inches, six feet, or centimeters for that matter, and so on.

You might use different numbers of knots for different purposes, according to the laws of numerology:

One: unity and wholeness, healing, Sun magick
Two: duality, choice, the emotions, Moon magick
Three: creativity, production, action, Mars magick
Four: foundation, wealth, communication, Mercury magick
Five: expansion, growth, joyfulness, Jupiter magick
Six: love, beauty, harmony, Venus magick
Seven: limitation, ending, binding, Saturn magick
Eight: dissolution, endings, beginnings, balance, Pluto magick
Nine: three times three, the number of the Goddess

You can enhance the magick by using a thread or ribbon of the appropriate color:

Red: life, vitality, health
Pink: love
Blue: healing, peace, spirituality
Black: endings, negation of ego
Green: growth, creativity, wealth
Orange: optimism, joy
Yellow: thought, mental activity
Purple: power, assertion, confidence
White: spirituality, protection

Use a little imagination and the uses of knot magick are unlimited.
