Magic: Knot Spells for Wishes, Winds and Bindings

Knot magic is traditional. Historically it had various forms. One is maritime magic, created by coastal cunningfolk to help sailors and fishermen get a good wind. 

Another method s an easy spell you can do any day to help you get what you wish for. It's extremely versatile. You simply tie three knots and say some words while visualising. Here's a description from the book Every Day Magic - A Pagan Book of Days, published by Moon Books.

Knot Magic: Traditionally, Cornish witches would create wind knots for sailors – three knots in a rope. Sailors would later untie the knots to release the wind: one for a fair wind, two for strong wind, three for a gale. But you can use knot magic for anything you want to wish for. Tie three knots in a rope and say: 

Knot 1: My spell begun

Knot 2: My wish come true

Knot 3: So mote it be

A third form is to use knots as a binding spell with a poppet, or magical doll, to stop someone behaving anti-socially. Make an effigy - a poppet - of the person with cloth or wax or clay, then wrap string around it three times and tie three knots. State that you bind them to stop their bad behaviour. If you wish to undo the spell, simply untie the knots and say that you release them.

You can view the book Every Day Magic: A Pagan Book of Days on Amazon and it was published  seven years ago, in November 2022.
