Ayin Hara and the Red Bracelet
“I pray the God of my salvation that He view me with His all-searching eye.” -2 Nephi 6:87 RAV, 9:43c OPV
One of the most well known traditions in Kabbalah may be the red or scarlet bracelet worn by practitioners. It is חוט השני, Hebrew for “scarlet string.” It is worn as a talisman to ward off misfortune said to be brought about by עין הרע (ayin hara), the “evil eye.” In Mormon Kabbalah we also carry out this tradition.

“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake, for ye shall have great joy and be exceeding glad, for great shall be your reward in heaven.” –Book of the Law of the Lord 1:2/3 Nephi 5:58 RAV, 12:11-12 OPV
The 10 Sefirot (Hebrew for “emanations”) are the 10 attributes of God in Kabbalah, through which Ein Sof (the Everlasting name of God) reveals Himself/Themselves to humankind. There are a few different ways of using the Sefirot. Some Kabbalists study and grow from attribute to attribute, while others see them as an urim and thummim. As an urim and thummim, the right and left sides create a series of “lenses” for the natural eyes, while the center creates a series of “lenses” for the third or spiritual eye. Through this urim and thummim, God helps us see both the physical realm and the chain of higher metaphysical realms.

Yod Hei and the Priesthood
“Trust ye in the YHVH forever: for in YH, YHVH is everlasting strength.” -Isaiah 26:4
There is a two-letter name for God: YH (יה), or Yod Hei, pronounced “Yah.” There is a misunderstanding that this is a shortened form of YHVH or Yahveh, more commonly Jehovah. However, this name of God is actually the lost teaching of the Parent Gods, Elohim: Avinu (God the Father) and His wife Shekinah (the Queen of Heaven). To some this will mean the male and female portions on the one divine being. To others, it will refer to two separate Gods, equals in all things, sealed as one for eternity.
