The Crafty Witch's Guide to Cord Magic: The Art of Braiding and Knotting Spell Cords (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781578639199)

A detailed guide that combines ancient wisdom and modern practice, teaching readers how to craft their own powerful and personalized spell cords.

Venture into many metaphysical and witchcraft shops, and you will often see long, braided cords, typically hanging from high surfaces. Beads, shells, amulets, and other magical materials may be braided into the cords. These cords may resemble decoration or ornamentation, but actually they are a form of magic. Using textiles, knots, and the crafter's intention, they form a physical manifestation of a spell.

Whether called cord magic, braid magic, or knot magic, this type of spell has ancient roots. Witches were once accused of controlling weather through the use of knotted cords, unleashing or calming storm winds by releasing or tightening knots. A photograph of the Witch's Ladder, one of the most famous types of knot magic, may be found in Taschen's Library of Esoterica book Witchcraft.

The Crafty Witch's Guide to Cord Magic includes detailed instructions on how to craft specific cords for diverse intentions, as well as photographs taken by the author that show finished cords as well as cords in progress. Author and artist Loren Morris, owner of the Primitive Witchery store, is a master of braid magic, and her work is on display in the movie Hocus Pocus 2.

This is a complete guide that combines ancient wisdom and modern practice, teaching readers how to craft their own powerful and personalized spell cords. Loren shows the reader how to turn the act of braiding into a tool for manifesting intentions and deepening one's own magical practice, with comprehensive instructions and spiritual insight.
