Description Wearing a red string as a type of talisman is a custom associated with Kabbalah, and is meant for warding off misfortune brought about by an "evil eye". According to this tradition, tying a red string around the wrist, protects the wearer from the destructive powers of the Evil Eye, thus preventing disease, poverty, accidents and other misfortune.
