If I buy from you I will save $.99, are you taking pre-orders?

holy hell. how can anyone take that religion seriously now? they're selling pre-manufactured RED STRINGS to people for 25 bucks a pop... how desperate are they to make money? do they really not care who wears their precious strings, and if said peope even know/care/give a damn about the 'religion' beyond knowing it's trendy?

honestly.

WHAT THE FUCK???!

There are so many other useless things you can get for $25...

25 copies of Madonna's last album in the sale bin!

A very bizzare concept indeed. It's not even terribly creative or interesting. Us Westerners have always liked to play and dabble in other people's cultures. Remember the henna tattoos and tikkas during the India kick a few years back? A touch of Chinese embellishment for fashion, a bit of Japanese sushi and wasabi while mastering chopsticks. At least those captured the imagination a bit and provided more entertainment value. Maybe a fashion designer will shop at this site and use the thread to stitch magical protective clothing. Or ER docs can use it for extra special quadruple-priced magic sutures.

Sorry, LOL, I haven't slept in a couple days.

Look, it's even marked "hot buy."

It also says, "The string is ... worn to essentially deflect the negative energy brought forth by unfriendly and envious stares, unkind glances and looks of ill will."

Now why do you suppose both Britney and Madonna both feel the need to sport this pricey piece?

Here's an idea. How about just being a nicer person, one who doesn't act like one's shit doesn't stink? Then people won't shoot the "evil eye" at you! And look at all the money you'll save on string!

Well, didn't Madonna start out wearing some oversized cross, and that became a fashion item, too?

And there's Reverend Ike and his prayer cloth, a little cloth cut out with pinking shears but the claimed magical powers will set you back more than a couple of bucks.

The funny thing is that subtle and powerful things are in front of our noses all the time, for no money at all, but they require the right kind of attention, mindset, etc.

By the way, "that Rachel chick" referred to earlier is Rachel from the Bible, the wife of Jacob, and thus the mother of the 12 Tribes of Israel.

The label "Kabbalah" can be applied to all sorts of things that don't necessarily have much to to with any kind of authentic mysticism or Jewish life or culture. Look at the difference between a Yugo and a Honda!

One rabbinical commentary on the red string was that it is supposed to remind the wearer to maintain humility and avoid envy. I don't know if it's all right for Britney to show her puppick and her red string at the same time.

Until yesterday, I had never even heard of the red string, though I know what Kabbalah and the Zohar are. A friend who's very slightly more tuned in to celebrity culture clued me in. If she hadn't told me, I would have guessed that it had something to do with menstruation.
