What is a witches ladder?
It is a folk-magic tradition. A Witches’ Ladder is a rope of knots and charms. Some Witches’ ladders may have feathers instead of charms, or both feather’s and charms. The number of knots and nature of charms and colors and types of feathers varies with the intended effect. It was/is said to believe to both create and dispel curses. If you search for it on google, you’re likely to find usages of it as hexing, as well as blessing, depending on which sites you go to. The Witches’ Ladder actually looks nothing like a ladder, just a pretty braided string.
