✨Knot Magic✨
Weaving Intention into Every Twist and Tie
by Mystical Mags
In the world of modern witchcraft, there’s something beautifully poetic about the simple act of tying a knot. It’s tactile, symbolic, and oh-so-powerful. Whether you’re binding a wish into a red thread or releasing an old story with a ceremonial untie, knot magic, also known as cord magic.
Let’s unravel this magical practice, and show you how to tie up your desires, quite literally 🧶✨
🌙 What Is Knot Magic?
Knot magic is intention where you tie or untie knots in a cord, ribbon, thread, or string to manifest a desire, bind an outcome, or release something that no longer serves you. Each knot holds a belief; each twist captures energy. Think of it, once tied, the intention keeps working behind the scenes. It’s a beautifully accessible form of magic, just your intention, your voice, and a string.
🧵 The Ancient Origins
Though knot magic feels TikTok-trendy these days, it’s actually one of the oldest known forms of folk magic. From sailors tying knots to control the wind, to cunning folk banishing illness or unwanted spirits, knots have always been seen as tools of power, secrecy, and release.
Even in Celtic and Norse traditions, knots symbolised eternity and interconnectedness. And don’t even get us started on the magical vibes of a handfasting cord in a Pagan wedding! 🔗💍
Using Knots (Step-by-Step)
Here’s how to get knotty with purpose, no pressure, just pure focus and flow:
🌟 You’ll Need:
- A piece of string, ribbon, yarn, cord, or even a shoelace (bonus points if it’s a colour that reflects your goal)
- A clear intention or goal
- Optional: calming music, a candle, a favourite crystal, or some time under the moonlight for extra good vibes
💫 Step 1: Name Your Intention
What are you calling in? A new chapter in love? Fresh energy for your career? Confidence to take the leap? Get specific. Say it out loud, jot it in your journal, or visualise it clearly. You’re about to tie that intention into something real.
🎨 Step 2: Choose a Colour That Resonates
Colours carry energy and associations, choose one that matches your focus:
- ❤️ Red – for boldness, motivation, and passion
- 💚 Green – for abundance, balance, or wellbeing
- 🔵 Blue – for clarity, calm, and strong communication
- 💜 Purple – for insight, reflection, or inner growth
- ⚫️ Black – for releasing, letting go, or creating boundaries
- 🤍 White – for peace, clarity, and a clean slate (also works as an all-purpose choice)
✨ Step 3: Tie Your Intention Into Knots
Traditionally, 9 knots are used, each one layered with focus and energy. You can speak a phrase, affirmation, or mantra with each one or simply breathe deeply and visualise your goal getting stronger with every tie.
Here’s a modern affirmation set you can use as you knot:
“One knot to start this path I choose
Two to hold the strength I use
Three for trust in what’s to come
Four for when I need momentum
Five to energise the way
Six to keep doubt far away
Seven for staying in my power
Eight for clarity every hour
Nine to lock this dream in tight
I’ve set my course, I’ve lit my light”
You can also write your own version that feels authentic to you. The key? Presence, repetition, and belief.
🌬️ Final Thoughts
Once all your knots are tied, your intention is anchored. Keep the cord somewhere meaningful: in a drawer, a bag you carry, near your bed, or tucked into a journal. Let it be a visual and energetic reminder of what you’re calling in.
Need to let something go? Unknot the cord slowly and intentionally, breathing out the old as you make space for the new.
