Red thread
From Traditional Witchcraft Wiki Project
The Red Thread is a subtle reference relating to the idea and concept of the Witch Blood that is passed from generation to generation in a physical sense or in reference to those who have had it awakened spiritually through some form of initiation. In some traditions a red cord is used by the witch to denote this concept & is worn as a garter.
