About this trail:
The $26 Red String bracelet — said to deflect "envious stares and looks of ill will" — is perhaps the most visible symbol of Kabbalah, the spiritual movement rooted in Jewish mysticism that's weaving through Hollywood in a way not seen since Scientology attracted converts and controversy a decade ago. And since Madonna first started singing Kabbalah's praises six years ago — literally, on her 1998 album Ray of Light— she has arguably become the practice's most prominent advocate
