Macan candles: "royal" origin The most ancient way of making candles is directly related to our "vengeous candle,". In fact, by multiple macania in the wax, our distant ancestors received a wonderful thing - a wax candle. And she, in turn, gave them the most valuable thing that could be on earth - warm and fire.
Since ancient times, macanic candles were used to commit rites of purification from unclean forces and negative energy.
There was even a belief that the color of fire from the macana candle could be recognized as the beneficial atmosphere. In the event that the fire of the candle was burning smoothly and gave clean, yellow-orange color - it was possible to talk about the absence of unclean forces in the house. If the flame was "restless", an unusual color - it was an indicator of an unfavorable situation and demanded a ceremony of purification from evil spirits.
So far, macanic candles are sold in church shops. Those who are buying parishioners to put before one or another holy face, push the vacation of sins and ask for benefits for themselves and their relatives. So, a macan candle is a kind of "wax mediator" between heaven and people.
Many believes and special rituals are connected with the creation of macanic candles.
1. Macan candle made, you should focus on good, bright thoughts. It is believed that thereby the master "charges" his wax creation with positive energy. And therefore, when burning, the candle will be able to reliably protect the house from evil spirits and create a beneficial, peaceful atmosphere.
2. In the church, in the manufacture of macanic candles, waxes from the flamers already "served their" candles. This approach to creating candles is quite controversial. Some believe that in this way the new candle is drinking positive energy and holiness. Others, on the contrary, believe that it conveys tears and sins to new candles, which were packed earlier by parishioners in the temple.
The smell of honey and wax. Creating candles from wax - real sacrament!
The process itself is fascinating, meditative and relaxing. There is such a candle for 3 hours. Very well cleans the space, soothes and pacifies. And the flame is completely different, very different from paraffin. Macania is the most ancient way to obtain candles. I share the joy of the creation of this miracle.
To begin with, we take:
Bee wax (it must be taken or from beekeepers, or in special beekeeping stores).
Cotton threads, others will not burn (you can take advantage of ready-made wicks from shops of creativity, I buy a cotton "Mason cord" in a construction store).
A saucepan containing a jar or a bottle with a wide throat. (The bank is suitable from under coffee weighing about 500 g), because We will put the wax on the steam bath.
Despite its such high ritual purpose and ancient origin, Makana candle is one of the most simple in the manufacture. So, the beginners in the challenge will not be much difficult to create a similar thing at home.
If several wicks are tied to the chopstick, you can plunge into the wax first one, then the second, third and so on. By the time all the phytilites will one after all over the wax, the time will come to immerse them on the second time. Immersing candles to wax at different intervals, you can achieve the best effect.
Having mastered this method, you can simultaneously make four to six candles (in a large diameter vessel), hanging them on a device that resembles a wheel with the knitting needles. You can rotate this wheel, placing philitis one by one in a can with wax, and not immerse them manually. You will need to monitor the wax level in the vessel. To do this, hold some more wax at the ready in a separate dish, maintaining the desired temperature to pour it into the main composition as its level decreases.
For the manufacture of a full-fledged macano candle, there will be no less than dozen macani wick to wax. Each time the candle walls will thicken, thanks to additional macanias in melted wax.
To save time and forces, you can make not alone, but at once two candles at a time. For this, two wicks are tied to a wooden stick at a distance sufficiently from each other. But at the same time it is necessary that it can fit with ease in a container with a melted wax at the same time. If you are too hasty, the wax will start falling from the wick.
The temperature of the molten wax should not exceed 56 degrees Celsius! Otherwise, the wax will remain on the wick very thin layer, which will significantly increase the amount of wick macani into wax, and, it means, the time of creating a candle. With too low, the wax temperature of the candle is obtained with an inhomogeneous surface, and the wax is so in the frozen form will be fragile and fragile.
A candle should be carpided into wax for 3-5 seconds so that a sufficient amount of wax remains on the candle. And pull out for pouring - for 3 minutes, or lower the candle in cool water.
Using the last way - save time.After the first second macania, the wick with wax should be swallowed along the glass surface - so unnecessary air will be released from the candle, and the surface will be smooth, and will not bubble.
When the thickness of the candle suits you, cut off the bottom of the candle and cut the wick. Candles are ready. There is a similar candle of 2.5-3 hours. Very beneficial effect on well-being, cleans the space from all unnecessary. You can immediately do several candles (three or four wicks in work at the same time), while some kind of fooling, others cool. Wax cools quickly.
At the end of the process of making candles, the remaining wax can be left in the bank if you plan to often make such candles. Or the wax can be poured into a saucepan, right on the water. When the water cools and the wax will freeze, it is necessary to remove the wax circle and stored to the following cases. By this way, the wax is cleaned of impurities - they settled between water and wax, after which they are easy to remove them with a knife.
It is important to make candles in a good mood. In order for your candles to be magic, you need to repeat mantras, conspiracies, sall climbs during their manufacture. However, you should not be carried away technical subtleties The process of making candles. Remember that you create magic tools, each of which is worthy of special attention.
You must focus on the appointment of each candle with each immersion. For example, if you are making light blue candles, then, the dipping washed to wax, think about peace, understanding, patience and health. And not only think, but imagine how the candles thickened the candles collect these qualities. You must be sure that the candles have all the necessary properties for the rite!
Cleaning with wax candle must be carried out in the following cases:
To remove the layering of negative fields and programs from a close man, ask him to sit on the stool, since the back of the chair lights up the back of a person from the effects of the candle flame, and stand up behind him.
You will need a wax candle. Put on her small white paper circle with a hole cut in it, which will enter the candle. Paper is necessary to protect your hands from negative energy, which absorbed molten wax, flowing down the candle - it strokes not on hand, but on paper.
Light a candle. The patient must begin to "clean" from the tailbone. Hand with a candle at the same time must make a rotational movement counterclockwise. The amplitude of this movement is 10-15 centimeters. The time during which you will hold a rite choose by you arbitrarily.
If the candle begins to crackle, it means that you found a "problem" place - a zone in which a person has serious violations in the life of the body. Surely at this point you will see the emerging from the flame soot. Hold the candle near such a zone until the candle stops smoking! When the flame becomes clean again, keep moving along the spine up to the top of the top.
We finish cleaning the movements above your head: at a distance of 10-15 centimeters above the head. At this time, it is necessary to read the Slage of the Lada of the Virgin, so that she helped a person to devaway his body, soul and spirit, i.e. To bring it to the CO-tuning with the mother-nature and the Most High Pratcher, (lead it to harmony with them).
Slav of Lada Virgin:
"Oh, you Lada Mother! Mother SPE Major! Slavna and Tislavna Budi!
You give us love and happiness!
Grace your missing on us!
Blessed Son (Daughter) Your (Retache Name) Restore the connection with the bodily and nature!

You are standing on the threshold of an amazing opening of the world of candles.
In order not to throw away the bunch of materials for the manufacture of candles in the trash can, you, first of all, you need to study their properties.
From a variety of materials to create candles, it is not easy to choose the necessary you. On the Internet a huge number of articles on the manufacture of candles, and, to put it mildly, not all of them are true. Often online stores selling materials for candles (or for soap and candles), sell them and give incorrect advice or simply try to sell you more (Simply put, make money on you).
It is necessary to take into account the properties of each material and separate the necessary from the secondary one.
The desktop candlestone
Your desktop where you will make candles should be protected from paraffin, dyes and everything you will create with.
The table must be displayed.
It may be an old newspaper and divided into sheets magazine, polyethylene, old cutting packets.
It is very convenient to use silicone baking mats (blue and red - mine).
Of course, before starting work, put on the apron or clothes, which is not sorry. If the paraffin is droplets on clothes, then it will be almost impossible to return it to the initial look.
What is so good silicone mat?
From it, the drops of paraffins falling past the form.
It is easy to wash.
Easy to fold, roll and remove.
He is soft and pleasant to the touch.
Water bath fixture
The very first, without which it is not necessary - this water bath.
All candles are made from candlestone melted on water bathotherwise it is impossible to melt it. In no way! In no case can you melt the candlestone in the microwave, a double boiler, a slow cooker ...
Otherwise, paraffin instantly overheats and flammifies!
If you do not want a fire, then strictly follow these tips.
Only water sauna!
What is a water sauna?
You will need an old metal saucepan (you will not use it anywhere else) and smaller the bucket, preferably with a long handle.
In the saucepan, water is heated and boils, heating the candlestone in the bucket. Gradually, the mass is melted. Before the boiling point, the paraffin will never reach. So, harmful pairs will not stand out in the air, which breathe.
Make sure that the melted candlestone does not pin down on the stove.
Paraffin in contact with a hot subject (or boiling) evaporates, highlighting harmful pairs. Do not confuse! When melting on a water bath, paraffin does not allocate anything!
My saucepans look like that of these two photos. I acquired one bucket in a specialized online store in the US, the second bought from the hands. More convenient with a plastic handle, because Does not heated.
Paraffin Food (P-2)
Why are paraffin called food? It is used in the food industry, for example, in the coating of cheeses to slow down product damage.
Paraffin is in the chips (loose, photo on the left), and it happens lump (below in the photo). Buy paraffin in briquette (reservoir) cheaper.
Note when buying paraffin on his marking. There is also technical paraffin (with marking T), which contains large% of technical oils, from which food paraffin is maximally cleaned!
Cheaper to acquire paraffin in briquettes, but in this case they will have to buy 5 briquettes in the bag, and each at the factories make about 5 kg. I'm already accustomed to and buy paraffin wholesale, 25-45 kg.
In retail, most often sell paraffin in chips (flakes), as the seller is easier to pour and weigh it.
What else do you need, except paraffin, for candles?
You can make candles only from paraffin. Then it turns out this effect as in the photo. After the candle is freezing, the surface is obtained with bubbles, streaks, or "snowy" - who says - that is, heterogeneous.
Snowy effect perfectly suitable for festive candles!
What to do if we want to avoid this effect, will look further.
In the meantime, see how the effect can be used!
An important property of paraffin is a shrinkage
Due to the fact that the paraffin molecules are a weak bond, then the surface tension, such as in water, or, for example, the molten soap base, is not. It is weak. Thus, when paraffin freezes, firstly, he settles, secondly, a funnel is formed as in the photo.
It is necessary in the process of pouring the paraffin to pierce the surface with a long needle or a wand to remove excess air and open emptiness.
And then make dirty.
Thus, the funnel can be hidden.
Stearin
Remember, we talked about the effect of "snowfall"? It can be removed. Plasticizer, a bundle for paraffin molecules can serve as steam.
That is, if there is paraffin and a bit of stearin on a water bath, the effect of snowflakes will disappear, the color will be smooth.
Stearin is used in the production of candles as an additive to paraffin (10-20%) or in its pure form.
Solid, translucent mass, fat to the touch.
Stearin candles are smoothly lit and do not float, they do not change their form with thermal effects.
But the manufacture of candles from pure stearin is quite expensive. Therefore, it is better to have stearin and add it to the paraffin so that the candlestone is less than the shrinkage and so that the candle is less "flowed."
The formula for the production of candles from paraffin and stearin:
Natural bees wax *
* For adherents of all natural, there is an opportunity to make candles from bee, soy (, etc.) wax.
When I acquired a natural big briquette of natural bees wax, then fell in love with this material at first sight! Why do you need all these artificial flavors when there is the fragrant honey beeswax? Ehhhh ...
Beeswax - the product of the life of bees. Registered as a food additive E-901.
It is highlighted by special glands of honey bees, from it the bees build honeycombs.
The solid substance from the white (with a light yellow tint) to yellow-brown color with a characteristic honey smell.
It has strong bactericidal properties.
At a temperature of 35 ° C, the wax becomes plastic.
Melts at a temperature of 62-68 ° C.
I am such a wax in small silicone shapes (I will show these forms further). Candles are small in weight, fragrant and beautiful.
By the way, I use a separate dishes for overpowering bee wax, because the wax is cluttered.
But, of course, beeswax - expensive product. It costs 4 times more expensive than paraffin.
Forms for candles
When you start to engage in candles, life turns into a constant search for molds for candles. As long as you do not get professional forms.
My secret weapons were jars from under cotton wand.
They are not only a round shape, but also in the form of a heart, a flower.
Who said that unprofessional forms are bad candles?
The main thing is that the candlestones, dyes and flavors were at the height. Execution, of course, too :-)
Molds from polycarbonate
I purchased these forms in the USA. Forms are convenient because transparent.
However, polycarbonate is not eternal and with time cracks.
I recently threw out one form (crackled and began to leak) after 4 years of operation.
Plastic molds for candles
These forms are stronger and cheaper than polycarbonate.
However, minus is that they are opaque.
The difference is that in them the plug (cover) at the base form. It is quite comfortable when you need to remove the finished candle.
Soft plastic for mini candles
These are the forms (used in the manufacture of soap).
The spinning needles are made for wicks, and the form is ready for the manufacture of mini-candles.
Plastic Molds Milkyway Molds
There are still such very interesting plastic forms.
In Russia, I haven't seen such as long.
MILKY WAY MOLDS, consisting of two parts manufactured by Milky Way Molds. This is a durable plastic, withstanding the temperature of 200º C.
I have such forms, but I don't make candles from them ... they hurt them cumbersome ... about 2 kg!
Metal forms (aluminum, steel, etc.)
Metal forms are "on the century". Durable, stable, super, in one word. Forms are made of aluminum, made of steel, other metals.
Need to be neat, because Metal is quickly heated from the flooded candlestone, you can burn.
Form thickness 1-3 mm. I really liked pouring candles in metal forms. Candles are obtained smooth.
Silicone baking molds
You can use silicone baking or ice molds: high shapes in the form of hearts, cupcakes, roses, as well as small molds in the form of fish, asterisks, etc. as decoration for candles.
Silicone baking molds are flexible, inexpensive, but when piercing the bottom is not so durable (when removing a candle, a hole is gradually breaking down, and it entails paraffin leakage when pouring, although it can be solved using paper tape or other secretsI tell about in my master classes).
Silicone handmade
Silicone forms can be bought in the store. But there are such unique silicone forms that do not do so simple, so I'll tell you about them. I order my silicone forms at the master. It is not all forms that I have.
To make a candle, you need experience.
Make a silicone
According to the cooking technology, silicone are two-component (the so-called "compounds"): consisting of the base and catalyst (hardener), which, before use, need to be mixed in a certain proportion, and one-component - already ready-to-use.
For the manufacture of form, we will need a two-component compound. When both composite parts are mixed, then begin to gradually stick.
Blind your own shape of plasticine or take the finished (ball, toy, etc.), place it in a disposable bucket (a jar or any other container, firmly fasten with glue or tape. Mix the components in the ratio of 100 grams of the base and 3.5 - 5 Gramm hardener and fill. After 8-10 hours, the form is ready.
It is better if you simply leave the place when the silicone is pouring you, wherever you will pour wax. Otherwise you have to cut the shape and when casting wax to strengthen it with the help of a rope or rubber band. The trouble is that hot wax deforms the form.
But the next experiments have shown that the silicone form in any case is cut along (or across, which is unavailable for us), because the plasticine master model is otherwise removed.
Get ready for a sharp and unpleasant both liquid silicone and frozen shapes. Be sure to add the flavor to the future candle, otherwise the candlestone will absorb the sharp smell of silicone.
And also do not regret the catalyst (it is better to put more per 1 g, the less). Otherwise, nothing will freeze, the mixture will not be grabbed, and you will have to get a master model from a liquid very sticky and unpleasant silicone and pour everything again (first thoroughly tapped with soap and brush).
Such a candle turned out from my homemade silicone form, the result and the process did not really delight me, so I decided to order forms at the master. What I do to this day.
We make the shape of the gypsum
In this case, we will produce the shape of the gypsum. To begin with, it is necessary to cut a conceived future form.
Where the mold connector is assumed, in the plasticine it is necessary to stick the blades of a secure razor, not very deeply. All this construction is covered with plaster. The blades will help to quickly disconnect the form (the frozen plaster does not cut and crumble into small pieces).
Here such mini-candles turned out.
Wick
You can buy philitis for your future ingenious creations in the candle plants or in specialized stores.
But you need to knowthat there is a huge number of types and sizes of wicks.
It is very important to choose the fit For candles.
If the wick will be too thick, then the flame of the candle will be large and the candle burns too quickly, if the wick is too thin, it will burn faster than the paraffin, and the candle will "chop out" and go out.
For the manufacture of phytyl, natural cotton thread is used, which does not smoke with burning and not crack.
Fitili is usually marked with numbers.
№1 - for candles up to 3 cm in diameter,
№2 - for candles 3-5 cm in diameter,
№3 - for 5-6 cm candles in diameter,
№4 - for candles from 6 cm in diameter.
When you get the forms, just ask the manufacturer, which is in stock. Fitoli and buy at least 2-3 different thicknesses, so you will test your candles and understand what better.
Where else can I get the wick?
If you decide not to buy paraffin and stearin and make candles from old candles or from purchased business, then the wick can be removed from the candles.
The only minus is not to pick up the thickness of the wick.
Alternatives to purchased phytyl
Dye
Candle mass and wick prepared. Excellent! Now the question arises: how to paint a candle mass? This is done very simple. When the candlestone is already melted on a water bath, add a piece of dye. I mean the dye destined for the candles. I have a huge amount.
Color intensity depends on the amount of dye.
Keep in mind that the brightness of the color of the molten candlestone always morethan cooled wax. Therefore, if it seems that the colors are enough, still put a little more.
And then it will be really enough! :)
Sometimes there is no possibility or time to get a special dye. Read the following paragraph to understand what effect one or another method of staining will give.
How not to paint candles
There are many options to make your candle unique. One of them - giving a color candle.
When I just started to make candles, little was at hand as a dye of the candle mass.
And most importantly, little good and "competent" was at hand.
Still, the mixing of paraffin and dyes is all sorts of chemical reactions, and with it you need to be careful.
Still, I wanted color. I started with Guashi.
Gouache... Bad very bad.
Fortunately, I have no candle stained in this way.
The fact is that the gouache is almost impossible to paint the candlestone: small particles of Guosses are settled on the bottom of the extracts, and even if with the pouring form wax a little shake the paint, it still cares.It turns out a very pale shade, and from this turbid and untidy.
Once, I just visited nostalgia (I wanted pouring something, although without normal dyes). And I am on "Avos" poured into the molten wax of the Earth from the Pack of Flowers !!! It looked, of course, it was funny, a white candle, at the bottom of which he drives something dark. It seems at first glance there are no shortcomings.
From ancient times, people knew that the element of the fire purifies and burns all the negative energies, checking the aura of a person.
For our ancestors, the fire was one of the relevant manifestations of the Divine Force. Nowadays, as before, all the Vedic rituals take place near the fires and the giggle. If they are held at home, then in the red corner - the candle burns. Fire furnace, fire candles - is a visible and bright image of the rules and gods that manifest themselves in the flame of fire.
Special, the magical effects of the flame of the candle on the aura (thin bodies and shells) of a person is that the flame helps to clean the body from the whole negative, accumulating day in the afternoon. And if a person living in urban environments rarely arises the opportunity to sit by the fire, then he can always be lit with a candle.
Sowing near the lit candle at least 7-10 minutes, watching the fluctuations of the tongue of her flame, soon we begin to notice how the candle throws a small amount of soot into space. As the experience of our ancestors is saying, the fire burns spiritual fatigue, irritation and resentment, accumulated in humans. Soot is evidence that they burned.
Fire candles, soothes the mind, thanks to this, we can driven negative, negative thoughts and feelings, do not allow the disease to penetrate our physical body. So pain spiritual, gradually scattered, prevents the pain of the physical body. Together with the crackling of the candle, it goes away, and the peace and mental equilibrium again returns to her place.
I propose to revive the traditions of our ancestors and make it yourself wax candlesfor both daily use and various rites and rituals. In addition, the manufacture of candles is a very exciting occupation.
Warfare can be bought on a specialized site for beekeepers.
Farmer, when creating a candle, you need to twist tightly so that there is no emptiness, otherwise the candle will not burn without the balance.
Fitil must be cotton. (Santimeter 3 wicks in advance goes into melted wax so that when Ignoring the candle it is not burning, but melted).
Herbs are dried in advance and crushed in a coffee grinder to the state of almost dust so that there are no large pieces, because When burning, they can flash and create a strong crackling).
You can use different compositions of herbs to create candles. It all depends on the purpose you are haunting. For example, if you make candles for wanted protection, you can use wormwood, thistle and other coating herbs, for these purposes are especially strong herbs collected on the purchase . If your candle should bring peace and peace to the house, then use John's wort and mint.
Sut off the massacre of the size you need, I have 21.8 cm x 8.5 cm. It is convenient to make a knife, but you can and scissors. It is slightly heated so that it becomes plastic and easily twisted. This can be done above the burner or decompose in the sun.
Sut off the phytyl desired sizeFor my candle - it is 11.5 cm.
Put the wick to the edge of the coaster, slightly pressing it.
We put out the herbs you choose smooth, not very thick layer.
Tightly twist the massacre so that there is no emptiness, otherwise the candle will not burn without a residue.
Here is a candle and ready!
At the base of the candle, you can make a small bowl with a knife to distinguish this candle from simple (without herbs) candles from the coach. Since the Wagon smells very much to honey, she interrupts the smell of dried herbs, so it's outwardly these candles (without a label) difficult to distinguish.
Master class: wax candle in mold.
Creating candles from wax - real sacrament! The process itself fascins: meditative and relaxing. Such a candle is burning - 3 hours. She cleans the space very well, soothes and pacifies. The most important thing is that the flame is completely different, very different from paraffin. In addition, paraffin pairs are harmful to health. Macania is the most ancient way to obtain candles.
You will need:
In the jar, put wax with pieces, pour water into a saucepan, put a jar in a saucepan, turn on the stove and wait for the wax to completely melt.
When the wax is completely melted, cotton cord is loose in wax. After back in the jar, overweight wax, we take the cord aside and wait when the wax will cool and hardens.
Then, loyering again, wait again, while the wax will cool. It is necessary to wake with one exact movement, without delay in the jar, so that the previous wax layer does not have time to melt in hot wax.
The better you cool the candle in air - the more wax it will be captured with the next macania.
When the thickness of the candle suits you, cut off the bottom of the candle and cut the wick.
Candles are ready. There is a similar candle of 2.5-3 hours. It has a very beneficial effect on well-being, cleans the space from all unnecessary.
You can immediately do several candles (three or four wicks in work at the same time), while some kind of fooling, others cool. Wax cools quickly.
At the end of the process of making candles, the remaining wax can be left in the bank if you plan to often make such candles. Or the wax can be poured into a saucepan, right on the water. When the water cools and the wax will freeze, it is necessary to remove the wax circle and stored to the following cases.
By this way, the wax is cleaned of impurities - they settled between water and wax, after which they are easy to remove them with a knife.
It is important to make candles in a good mood. In order for your candles to be magic, you need to repeat mantras, conspiracies, sall climbs during their manufacture. Mantras and Slavs you can find in the article "Sorry of the native gods."
Cleaning with wax candle must be carried out in the following cases:
At the first symptoms of colds,
If you or your loved ones are very accumulated,
After serious conflict situations,
After visiting hospitals and seriously sick people,
After talking with a person who is unpleasant to you, if after that there was a feeling of gravity in the body, the mood has deteriorated, tapped,
Kids if someone had scared or someone else's man strongly and viciously them rang outside in your absence
If the child went to walk healthy and in a good arms of the Spirit, and he returned, pale, angry, does not want to talk, he does not want to eat and does not want anything at all,
With other similar situations.
To remove the layering of negative fields and programs from a close man, ask him to sit on the stool, since the back of the chair lights up the back of a person from the effects of the candle flame, and stand up behind him.
You will need a wax candle. Put on her small white paper circle with a hole cut in it, which will enter the candle. Paper is necessary to protect your hands from negative energy, which absorbed molten wax, flowing down the candle - it strokes not on hand, but on paper.
Light a candle. For a while, forget about all everyday thoughts and repeat about yourself or out loud (according to circumstances, if a person agrees, it is better - out loud) Mantra "AUM". The patient must begin to "clean" from the tailbone. Hand with a candle at the same time must make a rotational movement counterclockwise.
The amplitude of this movement is 10-15 centimeters. The time during which you will hold a rite choose by you arbitrarily.
If the candle begins to crackle, it means that you found a "problem" place - a zone in which a person has serious violations in the life of the body. Surely at this point you will see the emerging from the flame soot. Hold the candle near such a zone until the candle stops smoking! When the flame becomes clean again, keep moving along the spine up to the top of the top.
We finish cleaning the movements above your head: at a distance of 10-15 centimeters above the head. At this time, it is necessary to read the Slage of the Lada of the Virgin, so that she helped a person to devaway his body, soul and spirit, i.e. To bring it to the CO-tuning with the mother-nature and the Most High Pratcher, (lead it to harmony with them).
Slision of Lada Virgin: "Oh, you are Lada Mother! Mother SPE Major! Slavna and Tislavna Budi! You give us love and happiness! Grace your missing on us! Blessed Son (Daughter) Your (Retache Name) Restore the connection with the bodily and nature! Chatton and Slavima, Lada Matushka, Matthew, now, and from a circle to a circle, yes at all times, while Yaril-Sun shines! Taco to be, such, such a boudo! A-O-U-M "!
Cleansing should be spent 3 times, checking, evenly lit candle in the place where she smokes before.
After holding a cleansing rite, the person you helped, it is necessary to burn paper with the wax scraps and dispel the ashes with the words: "How to burn paper and hang out this ash, all my hands and illnesses will be buried."
Successes to you in good deeds.
