I have made. Witches ladder out of shell to protection my rat studio. I used the shell as they hold a strong bond for me to the ocean.

Ooh! This is what I did with a ribbon! I don’t know much about knot magic but I found the witches ladder rather lovely looking. Rather than hanging it I wrapped it around a spell jar.

What a great idea! I’m always finding feathers whenever I walk anywhere. And it looks lovely!

This is really interesting- I don’t know much about knot magic! Although I have heard of a knot ceremony during bonding ceremonies (kind of like marriage between partners) where some pagan practices use Handfasting. I would consider this to be a kind of knot magic!

I believe handfasting comes from Celtic traditions and the ceremony looks really beautiful. I am considering doing something similar with my partner, as neither of us want a traditional marriage in a church. This looks like meaningful and beautiful ceremony!

Limeberry, I like the idea of using a witch’s ladder around a spell jar. Very creative!
I need to make one of these for healing. So much sickness in the world right now.

My nephew and his bride included it in their ceremony… it is beautiful and deeply significant.

I like to do the jar spells, but adding a witch’s ladder seems so much more binding to the spell! I think I am going to look into this more and maybe add them to my jars when I do spell work or rituals!

Yayy!! Very nice ladder, Tamera!
By knot one the spell has begun.
By knot two it’s coming true.
By knot three so mote it be.

Cool stuff. Thanks for all the information Fancisco. And congratulations on successful completion of your ladder Tamera.
I’ve read about covens passing the rope around the circle and different members tying knots and each member adding their own influence to the ladder as a whole. I think even with just two people this would make for a great spell. Not saying its not good alone too of course. So far I’ve done all of my spells alone.

If I don’t have any herbs on hand, can
essential oils be used in their place?

Great question, @susan4!
Essential oils are the drawn-out essence of herbs, so you can absolutely use them as a substitute for fresh/dried herbs 
! Just be mindful of any skin sensitivities if you handle them or use them directly on your skin, as the oils are concentrated and are quite strong

How did I miss this nice three knot chant? I was struggling with John4’s Nine knot chant … my fingers worked better when I was younger… sign… but I got it done … YEA!!!

It’s not something I’ve ever done myself but I do have this friendship bracelet my son made for me on a scout camping trip 4 years ago and I haven’t taken it off in all that time
