There
are …. Manipulations: (Ways to blend and combine the strands from a simple
crossing to tying
of various knots, aligning, fusing,
layering, wadding, weaving, braiding.)
Align:
this
is simply laying strands down in a pattern beside each other or a target. The
patterns may be simple (lines) or complex (figure eights) to achieve various permutations
of a spell.
Layer:
this
is a form of stacking strands. Again, it could be simple (one on top of
another) or crisscrossed, teepeed, stair stepped…..
Cross:
this
is a form of layering including X patterns, T, right angled, obtuse, acute, and
oblique, L, teepee,…..
Twist:
self-explanatory
the strands are twined together, in single, double or multiple variations…
Braid:
a
complex form of twisting, much stronger and harder to unravel, many strands and
colors of strands can be braided.
Weave:
the
most complex of twisting this manipulation requires a pattern, very strong and
nearly impossible to unravel unless you know the pattern and order of weaving.
Shake
or Wiggle: taking hold of a strand and moving it either
next to a target or while attached.
Pull
or Push: just what it says, either the strand itself or while its
attached to something.
Thread:
this
requires a user to poke a strand between items or through them.
Granny:
the
simplest form of tie off knot, easy to undo and not very strong.
Square:
a
stronger tie off knot but easily recognized and undone.
Carpenter:
the
strongest of tie offs, unless they are combined, looks tangled and is hard to
find the starting point.
Hitch:
a
very complex tie off knot but is very quick to release if you know where the
“slip” is.
There
are many terms used to describe the direction the strands appear naturally in
nature. Verticle, Horizontal, Wispy, Attached…
