I’ve heard the questions and speculations for quite awhile now. That little red bracelet on my arm, what does it represent? This one has been on for over a year and I thought it was about time to share the full story.
I like to keep my accessories minimalistic. There is a time to shine and make a statement, but on the regular, I love simplicity and my every day jewelry to be loaded with meaning. This little red piece of yarn strongly knotted around my wrist is no different.
Many have thought I was wearing a Kabbalah bracelet, however this string has no Jewish ties for me. The red string has actually been worn in various religions from Hinduism to Christianity, my faith, for centuries. In my family, the tradition was started by my grandmother. For as far back as I can remember she has been buying red yarn and praying over it before passing along to the intended wearer. She blesses the yarn with good fortune, and the belief goes that when it falls off great things will happen. The practice has been passed and now my mother sends the bracelets to family and friends and anyone who wants the protection.
I love that it not only has a positive energy, but that it’s a daily reminder of my faith. Aden wears one as well and has since he was born. When each of ours falls off (whether the right or left wrist), a new one is sent to ward off any misfortune. With a healthy, loving husband and son, an incredible career, unbelievable friends and a baby on the way, I like to think the blessings and power of this thin red bracelet are working.

Funny how Christians are the only ones on here attacking and judging her family traditions. Never mind the part of that a lot of religions wear the string and none of them are on here being judgmental and defensive. Some of y’all so called Christians are too deep for me and too deep for Jesus.
Tamera, you’re very cute, but in spite of all your efforts to make your story sound cute, it’s really not. This is idolatry but you just don’t know it and ignorance is no excuse! He shall share His glory with no man let alone a thing!
You’re very smart and we love you, but please don’t say dumb things like this and actually expect us to buy it. I’m only commenting ‘cos you profess to be a born again Christian.
This is soo beautiful Tamera your faith is such an inspiration
Hi. Jus respect her choice. Jesus is the only judge. I am from the Caribbean and i also wear a red string on my hand for the same reasons. There are traditions and practices from the old testement some ppl seem to ignore. Please understand christianity from the whole bible and not just the new testement
This has bothered me for along time. Now, in 2018, it seems that the whole family is always wearing these red strings. It concerns me because they, at one point, claimed to believe in the bible and Christ, yet…
She says: ‘Many have thought I was wearing a Kabbalah bracelet, however this string has no Jewish ties for me. The red string has actually been worn in
various religions from Hinduism to Christianity, my faith, for centuries. ”
This explanation is pretty vague from a spiritual perspective and we should really ask ourselves why we perpetuate some traditions that do not truly honor the God of the bible.
The origins of the red string and the Kabbalah are not truly ‘Jewish’ or Hebraic traditions. In the Kabbalistic tradition: the red string is worn on the left wrist (she and her son are pictured wearing the bracelet on their left wrists) and put on my a loved one to protect the person from negative energy and misfortune and to bring fortune. Sounds like similar origins. ”She blesses the yarn with good fortune, and the belief goes that when it falls off great things will happen. The practice has been passed and now my mother sends the bracelets to family and friends and anyone who wants the protection.” We don’t know what beliefs her Grandmother has, but this practice is not biblical.
The Kabbalah and Kabbalistic traditions are NOT from the true Hebrews/ or true Israelites but in fact from Babylonian mysticism (which shares origins with the other traditions, superstitions and false teachings mentioned in this post):
“During the long period spent under Babylon from the 6th to 11th century,
Judaism was influenced by many of the mystical and magical concepts
derived from Egyptian, Hellenistic, and Persian sources. These found
their way into the underground stream of Kabbalism which surfaced during
the early Middle Ages in Europe, incorporating the Hindu concept of
reincarnation with Babylonian astrology and the numerology of Greek
philosopher and mystic Pythagoras (of “music of the Spheres” fame).”
Modern people who call themselves ‘Jews’ practice this occult tradition which has nothing to do with the God of the bible. The bottom line is that this practice is rooted in superstition, mysticism and even witchcraft in some cases:
“After the Red String is wound around the tomb, it is endowed with mystical powers. Kabbalists believe that by seeking the Light of holy persons, such as Rachel, we can use their powerful influence to assist us…thought to have magical powers of protection and rewards of good luck.”
The God of the bible NEVER told the Hebrew people to do this. In fact, the word of God strictly forbids the Hebrew people from engaging in these practices: Deuteronomy 18: 9-14:
Deuteronomy 18:9-14 King James Version (KJV)
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10 There
shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his
daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an
observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
The red-string bracelet is an amulet; an ornament, charm or talisman meant to ward off evil.
Ezekiel 13:18
18 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
Psalm 31:6
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord.
Isaiah 2:6
6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and
they please themselves in the children of strangers.
Galatians 5:20
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Many people look up to Tia and Tamera and their families. I really enjoy their personalities, styles and think they are very funny, beautiful and entertaining. I understand that they are involved in the Hollywood (or more appropriately Kabbal-ywood) business of entertainment which is controlled by Jewish powers, mysticism and evil entities. They have been involved in this industry since they were just kids and who knows what they’ve seen/ been through. Maybe they are truly in fear and are trying to get all of the protection they can against Hollywierd; a place none of us can truly understand unless we lived through it. I care about them; I care about their souls and they have my prayers.
