As always, a strong, clear intention strengthens the spell significantly. A charm is spoken for each knot you make.<\/p>\n<p>Distill your intention to a short phrase you can easily remember and repeat. For instance, to call in Persephone, you might say, \u201cI honor you, Persephone. Please be with me now.\u201d Repeat this as you tie each knot. Or you might have a more elaborate intention such as \u201cThis home is filled with love, trust, and harmony. Our bonds are secure. We nurture a culture of repair. We honor each other\u2019s spirit.\u201d For each knot, you\u2019d repeat a key word such as \u201clove,\u201d \u201charmony,\u201d \u201csecure.\u201d The magic is bound at the end of the working with a declaration such as \u201cAnd so it is,\u201d or \u201cMy word is firm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>To make your ladder, you\u2019ll need:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Twine<br \/>\n\u2022 Scissors<\/p>\n<p>A few sticks that carry the right energy for your magical working<br \/>\nCorresponding materials, such as flowers and herbs, feathers, antlers, bones, nuts with holes drilled through them, dried apple or orange slices, beads, ribbons in symbolic colors, locks of hair, mementos, or heirlooms Tie the sticks together, using either one piece or two parallel lengths of twine, as is your preference. Your correspondences can be threaded onto the twine as you go along, or you can tie all the sticks together for your ladder first, then attach the correspondences after. Hang your ladder to anchor this energy in your space.<\/p>\n<h2>Level Up Your Knot Magic<\/h2>\n<p>I use a specific knot called the constrictor knot, which is easy, elegant, and very secure.
