But the knot as a magical object has a documented and fascinating northern history: sailors used to buy \u003cstrong\u003ethree-knotted ropes\u003c\/strong\u003e from the seeresses of the Far North. Untying the first knot summoned a breeze, the second a good fair wind, and the third a storm that no one wanted. \u003cstrong\u003eOlaus Magnus\u003c\/strong\u003e described this trade in his \u003cem\u003eHistory of the Northern Peoples\u003c\/em\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003e1555\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the belief in \"wind knots\" remained alive on the coasts of the North Sea until the 19th century.
