Beginning Homeopathy Course Begins Oct 6, 2018

Learn the art of Homeopathy... a complete medical system that actually CURES illness!

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a form of medical treatment founded by Samuel Hahnemann.  Samuel Hahnemann lived from 1755 to 1843.  It is interesting to note that many of the first generation homeopaths lived well into their 80s while the average life expectancy for others at the time was 40 to 50 years of age.

Hahnemann not only was fully aware of the practice of medicine (being a medical doctor), but he was a skilled chemist who discovered a form of mercury still used today and above all else wished to help his fellow man and find a way to cure ailments (keyword- CURE).  He found little of this latter goal attainable through the medical practice of his time.  In fact, he felt that the practice of allopathy (standard medicine of his time and ours) to be almost completely lacking in its treatment towards a cure of chronic disease.  He came to view allopathic methods in dealing with illness as only suppressive of symptoms and instead of alleviating disease, just driving it deeper into the body.  He found standard medicine only covered up the symptoms or cut them out.  His experiences with allopathy showed that he was not achieving the goal of curing illness.  Instead, to his dismay, his patient’s diseases were just getting worse through standard medical practice (sound familiar?).

Simple and Effective Ways To Cast Stronger, Longer Lasting Spells

Here are some tips to making your spellwork stronger acting and longer lasting.  The extra work involved makes the difference in a weak outcome and an outcome with a BANG!

Cleansings

The effects of a good thorough cleansing can have such a great impact on spellwork.  In my opinion its one of the most important beginning and ending steps that one can take to influence a positive and desirable outcome.  Use whatever method of cleansing you normally would, just don’t skip it altogether and don’t rush the cleansing process.  Cleanse, cleanse, and cleanse in order to clear away negativities, to make yourself, your space, and the tools you use pure and fit for the spiritual work ahead.  Cleanse in the beginning and at the end of a job.  Why start a job with obstacles in the beginning and why end a job with unneeded energies right?

Meditate

People often associate meditation with long periods of sitting cross-legged on the floors chanting “OM”.  This is not always the case.  The fact is you can spend as little as 10 minutes in a meditative state and still greatly gain from it.  Meditation trains the mind.  Not only is there health benefits that can be gained from it but it also enables us to focus, concentrate, visualize, and connect.  All the things needed in spiritual work.  Meditation reaches far within, beyond the conscious and subconscious mind and begins drawing on the finer energies that reside at the deeper levels of the super-conscious mind.  Here there is an infinite source of energy.  In meditative states we are aware and able to receive messages from other realms.  It sharpens our inner vision and multiplies our inner hearing.  Meditation conditions the mind to become more receptive to information. In spellwork meditation, visualization, and intention are used to direct the energy of spells.

Mental Imaging/Visualization

Creative visualization is the art of changing negative thinking for positive images and creating what we desire.  Some know this as manifestation.  By thinking of the good things you want to happen as part of a regular routine, you're creating a positive energy.  Instead of observing a situation you want changed, visualize the situation as you want it to be.  The mind produces some of the most powerful energy known.  When we visualize something, we are creating a new energy.  In spellwork the most critical tool you have at your disposal is your mind.   Just like any other tool it requires maintenance to keep it in shape.  The power of your spellwork is a reflection of your spiritual strength.

Personal Concerns

Personal concerns, items that personally belong or come from the person on whom spellwork is intended for, empowers a spell.  The more personal items you have, the stronger the connection.  These items enliven the spellwork at hand, gives dimension, and fills it with the life essence of the target person.  If you have access to personal items its worth the time and effort to collect them.  Some items which as powerful in spellwork include things such as hair (from any part of the body), unwashed clothing, and body fluids.  You could probably come up with a lot more if you think about it.  When searching for personal items try looking in odd places such as a hairbrush (hair), trash cans (hair, body fluids on paper), sheets (hair, skin), hats (hair), etc.

Symbolism

Don’t forget to add some items that are symbolic of your desired outcome.  These can be trinkets or printed images.  For instance, it you are working a money drawing spell try including images of money bags or printed hundred bills.  For love related work you could include images of happy couples or hearts.  If your goal is for marriage to take place include pictures of a bride and groom, an engagement ring, or a wedding ceremony.  For prosperity spells or to remove obstacles try small pad locks (leave them open, not locked) or keys. Use your imagination.

Moon Phase

For those who aren’t heavily in to incorporating planetary aspects into spellwork a very simple and quick method is to begin spellwork by the moon phases.  Just remember that when the goal of the spell is to remove, rid, shrink, or send something away begin the work during the waning moon phase.  When the goal of the spell is to attract, bring, grow, or increase something begin the work during the phase of the waxing moon.

Faith/Think Positive

In all spellwork having faith is of great importance.  Don’t allow negative thinking to come in to play.  Believe that your spell will work to your desired outcome.  If a negative thought presents itself chase it away immediately.  Thinking negatively only weakens you.

Dream Recall

Everyone dreams, whether the dreamer remembers his/her dream is another matter.  Some people have no problems remembering their dreams while others can only remember a few fuzzy details or nothing at all.  The fact is, everyone dreams.

During rapid eye movement (REM) is when the dreamer experiences the most vivid dreams. This is when the brain is highly active.  If you have ever watched a person sleeping and noticed their eyelids moving then you have witnessed someone during REM.  This happens with animals too.  Countless of times I have watched my dogs barking, moving their legs, or moving their eyes while they were fast asleep.  This is REM.

The dreamer goes through Rapid Eye Movement three to four times every single night.  Again, during REM is when the dreamer experiences the most vivid dreams but we also have less vivid dreams outside of REM or in between REM phases.

According to the International Association For The Study Of Dreams, the dreamers ability to recall their dreams can be affected by several things.  These things include drugs, medications, alcohol, stress, illness, or certain foods a person might eat during the evening.

Below you will find some suggestions which will prove helpful in dream recall.

Getting Enough Sleep

Make sure to get plenty of rest.  There is no magic number to suggest since everyone has their own individual sleep needs.  Some people require at least eight hours of sleep while others need more.  You have to figure out what your sleep needs are.

Before You Go To Sleep

Intend to remember your dreams upon awakening and KNOW that you WILL remember them.  It also helps to verbalize your intentions.  Say out loud “I will remember my dreams upon awakening”.  Repeat this several times until the words are ringing in your head.  In fact Edgar Casey suggested that the dreamer should repeat “I will remember my dreams upon awakening” continually until you are actually asleep.  Falling asleep with this mental suggestion is very powerful since the time between being half awake and half asleep the subconscious can be programmed to anything you wish.  If you are able to actually cross over into the dream state while repeating your intent you WILL remember your dreams when you wake up.  Casey also suggested that the dreamer make a physical sound each time after stating your intention such as snapping your fingers, clicking your fingernails, or tapping your finger on the pillow.  This creates a trigger of your intention and penetrates deeper into your subconscious.  Some people call this PROGRAMMING the subconscious mind.  You could also try tape recording your intention and the physical trigger sound and play it while falling asleep.  Some people find that the recording is helpful while others find that the sounds from the recorder is disturbing.  Play around with it and see if you find it helpful to you.

Try to get the body as relaxed as you can.  If you have to stretch or even do Yoga all the better. You can even meditate to clear your mind, so that that you are more prepared for the next step. You don't have to eat or refrain from eating before bedtime.  You may do as you like.  Try experimenting with eating different foods before bedtime and see if you get any different results in the end.  Make sure you have a pen and pad handy to write with next to the bed.

Keep Paper and Pen Handy

Before retiring to bed make sure to have some paper and a pen or pencil on the nightstand in order to write down your dreams upon awakening.  Alternately, you can keep a small tape recorder on the nightstand.  Sometimes this is better since you can speak faster than you can write.  The quicker you record your dreams the less likely you will forget parts of it.

Write It Down

Write down everything you remember about your dream, even if it doesn’t make sense to you.  Make sure to include all the images you remember and all the feelings you experienced.  Its okay to write down only parts of your dream if that’s all you can remember.  The important thing is to immediately write down what you recall.  Don’t wait one second before jotting down your dreams.  Most people completely forget their dreams or parts of it if they wait, even if the dream was extremely vivid to them.  Always write something down on paper upon awakening even if you write “I didn’t remember my dream”.  Jot down all the details, make a note if you remember certain colors, fragrances, names, moods, feelings, sounds, and places.  Don’t forget to include the date of your dream and the foods you ate prior to retiring (this might give you a clue if you can’t recall a dream).

Morning Awakening

When you wake up in the morning it helps dream recall if you spend a few moments laying still.  Try not to move for the first several minutes of awakening.  Any movement or distractions can erase a dream from the memory.

Magic And The Bible

I was approached on the subject of Curanderismo (and any kind of magical art) being “against the teaching of the Bible and against God’s word”.  The person that approached me attested that God said to stay away from this sort of divination (“card reading”) in the following verses…

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 New International Version (NIV)

10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.

Here is “my take” with interpretation and references in no particular order…

*** LET NO ONE BE FOUND AMONG YOU WHO SACRIFICES THEIR SON OR DAUGHTER IN THE FIRE…

(my take) I hope this isn’t going on in anyone’s household but there are numerous passages throughout the bible that mention God himself wanting blood sacrifices and offerings and commanding people to do them.

(KJV)Exodus 5:3

(KJV)Exodus 20:24

*** DIVINATION….

(my take) People were given the gift of divination and prophesy and tons of people throughout the bible divined.

Luke 1:9

Matthew 27:35

Joel 2:28

1 Corinthians 14:1-5

Acts 2:17

Acts 21:9

Further references…

Genesis 44:5

Talks about divining in a container filled with water. Today it is call water scrying and is much like gazing in a crystal ball.

Here in Daniel 2:2 (KJV)

2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

Proverbs 16:33 (KJV)

33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.

Look at Daniel the Prophet…

Daniel 5:11 (KJV)

11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;

Back to the original Deuteronomy 18:10-12

**** INTERPRETS OMENS …

(my take) people do this all the time but they don’t think badly when interpreting simple things like …it’s going to rain because you can smell wet dirt, it’s going to be cold because your knee hurts, your ears ringing so someone is talking about you, you’ll receive money because your hand itches. References are made throughout the bible of people interpreting omens.

**** ENGAGES IN SORCERY OR WITCHCRAFT OR CASTS SPELLS…

(my take) Children’s nursery rhymes are full of spell casting but we teach these stories to our children and make them think they are innocent or cute…. Star Light Star bright, The first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight… This is a form of spellcasting. A ritual form of spellcasting is the lighting of a birthday candle and asking a wish. God himself gave the gift of sorcery, magic, and wisdom to many people; King Solomon and Moses were two of them.

Further references…

Numbers 5:12-31

This describes a magical ritual that the priest would perform on a wife if her husband thought she committed adultery.

Kings 2:23-24.

Elisha was on his way to the city of Bethel. Some children came out of the city and made fun of his balding head. Elisha cursed the children in the name of God and two bears came out of the woods and tore 42 of the boys to shreds.

Acts 13:6-12

Here St. Paul performed a magical act against another and set a curse upon him

Acts 5:9

And here when St. Peter performed a magical act and set a curse on a woman who immediately fell to the floor and died.

And let’s not forget….

2 Chronicles 33:6 (KJV)

6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. Also he observed times, and used enchantments, witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.

MY INTERPRETATION AND BELIEF ON WITCHCRAFT, HEALING, ETC…

I believe in working with the energy. I believe in working with things that are already here and available to us. I don’t “create”… I manifest. I never claim to heal a person, I am only a channel for healing....Spirit is the healer. The gift of healing rests within each one of us. Those who have the gift of healing should not ignore it.

1st Timothy 4:14

Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given to you by prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you.

We all can spiritually heal in Gods name......

Mark 16:15-18

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Is it taboo to know how to perform a magical art (the wisdom) when God himself gifted that wisdom to others? Who’s to say he didn’t gift it to you or I?

Kings 4:29-31

God gave Solomon very great wisdom, discernment, and breadth of understanding as vast as the sand on the seashore, so that Solomon's wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt. He was wiser than anyone else, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Calcol, and Darda, children of Mahol; his fame spread throughout all the surrounding nations.

The Magical Staff…

God gave Moses a magical staff. When Moses intended to spread frogs over the land he pointed his staff and it happened. Same with turning water into blood, or the infestation of grasshoppers, snakes, and flies.

Exodus 7: 10 - 12

10 So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and did as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the rod before Pharaoh, and his servants, and it was turned into a serpent. 11 And Pharaoh called the wise men and the magicians: and they also by Egyptian enchantments and certain secrets did in like manner. 12 And they every one cast down their rods, and they were turned into serpents: but Aaron's rod devoured their rods.

Is it taboo to know the future or to channel spirits?

1 Corinthians 13:1

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

The Book of Revelation Verse 3

"Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near."

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:1

Make love your aim, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, he who prophesies speaks to men for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless some one interprets, so that the church may be edified. Therefore, he who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. What am I to do? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray wit the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.

Joel 2:28

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.

My interpretation on the Catholic Church’s Exorcists…

You also can't ignore that the Catholic Church is known for promoting and training exorcists. This in itself is a form of magical practice and ritual.

A conclusion…

As you can see, I have given numerous examples of the use of divination, healing, and all sorts of random “magical” occurrences in the Bible.

Even the Bible has a difficult time acknowledging the use of divination and “magic” on one hand while condemning the same on the other.  Contradictions abound in the word and you must seek your own path through these teachings.

On magic and wishes… 

I was once a little girl making a wish while blowing out the three candles on a birthday cake.  Was it magic that made this wish come true or was it the energy in my small but sturdy little body?  I tend to believe in energy and after many years of practice, still make a wish on my birthday.  I don’t think God minds.

Ancestor Altar, Curandera Style

I believe that death is an extension of life on another plane; a graduation to a higher level of existence, but yet still connected to the physical earthly one. Here in the earthly, the vehicle is the body, there it’s the spirit.

Death is a daily part of a spiritual workers life. We petition spirit to assist us through candles, prayers, and divination. We want them around, we need them in order to achieve our goals.

In Curanderismo, it’s believed we couldn’t bring spiritual/magical workings to pass without the help of the dead, without the help of Spirit, a Saint, deceased family, or another deity, the living and the dead work as a team. The dead offer us insight, guidance, knowledge, secrets, wisdom, and assistance. Therefore keeping an ancestor altar is very important to us. The ancestor altar becomes a bridge from here to the world of the dead and a constant connection to loved ones.

Erecting and dedicating the space brings responsibility. Attend it at least once a week, daily is better. The altar is a place of give and take. We want the help of our deceased; they want our light, our prayers, and a connection to the living. Here is where you take your problems, worries, concerns, needs, and happiness. This is the place to sit and talk with the ancestors. Here you can ask for assistance, guidance, and solutions to any problem. On the other hand you don’t want to use the space only when you need something ... you also want to attend the altar just to spend time with them, without wanting something in return.

The more the altar is used, the more energy it builds. Eventually the energy becomes so powerful that someone walking near it can actually feel the power radiating from it.

Metal surfaces shouldn’t be used for the altar since most spirits are turned away from it. The best surface is wood. I find that an old chest-of-drawers works especially well since you can store things inside it.

In Curanderismo white altar cloths are used since it represents peace, purity, and the dead. Bright colors used on this altar are only for special occasions, not as an every day thing. This can include an ancestor’s birthday or some other special occasion.

Like everything else in spiritual work the altar is cleansed. Holy Water alone can be used for the cleansing but I like to prepare a special liquid for the job. I use a blend of cleansing herbs consisting of Rue, Basil, Hyssop, and Holy Water. Sometimes, if I feel moved, I may include Rosemary to the mix. After the cleansing, the altar is then spiritually fumigated. My preferred incense for fumigation is “Church Incense”. I think it’s also called “Gloria Incense”. This is the same incense that the Catholic Churches use.

The entire time I’m cleansing and fumigating the altar, I’m praying. I’ll start out with Psalm 23 and then pray from the heart asking to keep bad spirits away and for protection. To end the cleansing ritual I rub the entire surface of the altar with fresh yellow marigolds. These flowers represent death. Spirits like them and are attracted to them.

Photos of the deceased and items that belonged to them can be added. Don’t forget trinkets and gadgets they liked or were known to wear. Larger objects can be set on the floor near the altar or hung on the wall over the altar. Photos placed on the altar should never include a person who is still living. It’s believed to bring tremendous bad luck, illness, and possibly a shorter lifespan to the person.

The altar should also have a bible or a book of prayers so that you can read to your spirits. You can either choose what you will read or let them choose. Ask them to lead you to the bible verse or prayer they would like to hear then open the book at random and read from those pages. Sometimes what they lead you to is actually something you need for yourself rather than something they want.

A clear crystal vase with fresh cut flowers can go anywhere on the altar. The flowers can be of any kind and of any color. They serve as an offering and are also a sign of respect. The crystal vase amplifies everything at the altar (communication, work, energy, etc). Any candle burned here should be white.

A Crucifix and Holy Water are always present. The Holy Water can be placed in a spray bottle for ease of use. It’s used to cleanse your hands when you first approach the altar and to cleanse your hands after working there. Just mist your hands with it. You can also lightly spray the altar top with the Holy Water to refresh the spirits.

Offering are limitless and are only given during special occasions or for answered petitions. Offerings can include any food item and any type of beverage especially if it was the deceased favorite food.

The altar should be set up with at least 3 glasses of fresh water. Water is an important substance in Curanderismo. Sixty percent of our body is water, Seventy percent of our brain is water, Ninety percent of our lungs are water, and Eighty percent of our blood is water. Without it all living things would cease to exist. Water is refreshing and purifying, it’s also a very spiritual substance that links us to other realms. It’s a substance that makes communication to the dead easier, its presence absorbs negativity and it’s a vehicle to receive and transport spiritual energy.

The 3 glasses of water should be placed in the center of the altar to form a triangle shape. The point of the triangle should be facing towards the front of the altar and the long base facing towards the rear.

The glass to the right rear is dedicated to your maternal ancestors, the glass to the left rear is your paternal ancestors, and the single glass towards the front is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. This particular setup is for honoring only the ancestors. The water should be changed once a week or sooner if they develop a lot of bubbles.

In Curanderismo it’s okay to add one Saint or Folk Saint to the ancestor altar, one that you feel very close to ... but just one .... Santa Muerte is not included in this choice. I work closely with a particular Folk Saint so I also have his picture on the altar since I consider him to be part of the family. With the addition of a Saint or Folk Saint the glasses are set up in the same triangle pattern but the dedication of the glasses are different.

In this case, the glass to the right rear is dedicated to your maternal and paternal ancestors, the glass to the left rear is dedicated to your Guides and to the Holy Trinity, and the single glass towards the front is dedicated to the Saint or Folk Saint. Again, the water is refreshed once a week. When you refresh the water in the glasses, no matter which setup you use, don’t pour the water down the drain, instead, pour it in the street off and away from your property. If you can’t pour it off and away from your property then pour the water into the toilet and flush it away.

The glass dedicated to the Saint or Folk Saint brings that Saints energy to your altar. I use this glass a little differently than others because I like to “ingest”, so to speak, the Saints energy ... I’ll explain, and hopefully I won’t confuse anyone.  

The glass dedicated to my chosen Folk Saint I add fresh water to it every single night before I go to sleep because I’ll be drinking from it the next morning. For me, I dedicate this glass to Folk Saint Dr Jose Gregorio Hernandez. Every time I place a fresh glass of water out for him I ask Dr. Hernandez to enhance the water with any spiritual medication I need to stay healthy and to instill it with his wisdom and knowledge so that I can take it in to my own body and use it to help others. The next morning, I drink the spiritually enhanced water to transfer these energies from him into and inside myself. I take 3 sips from his glass of water; the first sip is “in the name of the Father”, the second sip is “of the Son” and the third sip is “of the Holy Ghost”.....I say this as I take each sip. Then I pour the rest of the water outside on my doorstep to attract blessings to my home.

Sometimes I will also place a gallon jug of water on the altar and ask him to fill it with spiritual medication for healing so that those that are sick can drink a glass of it. I then keep this jug in the refrigerator for when it’s needed. This works really well.

Some, not all, who practice Curanderismo keep a bottle of blessed olive oil on the altar and a small empty container to pour the oil into. I’m one that does. I use this blessed oil to pour libation (a liquid offering) .... yes, Christians pour libation, they do it at Christian Mass it’s just not practiced much at home.

I use a small soapstone cup to hold the libation poured. For me, pouring libation is a way to ask for my ancestors to be forgiven of any sins they passed with, to cleanse and purify them, to allow them spiritual progress and peace, and to remove any obstacles from their journey.

So I bet your wondering “when do I pour libation” well that is done during my Ancestral Healing Prayer I use once a week at my altar. I attend my altar every day. I have a daily routine, a weekly routine, and a monthly routine. Anyway if ya’ll are interested in the Ancestral Healing Prayer I don’t mind sharing but I warn you its rather lengthy.

Many Blessings

San Cipriano

There are two legends of San Cipriano. The first legend says that San Cipriano (St Cyprian of Antioch) was born in Carthage (249-251). As a child his parents dedicated him to the service of Apollo and when Cyprian was only seven years old his parents gave him to magicians where he would study sorcery and pagan ways. During his youth he traveled to many places learning the occult from some of the best known masters. His travels took him to Mount Olympus, there he learned to control weather conditions. 

At age ten he went to Argos and served the Goddess Juno where he learned the art of deception. During another voyage he went to Sparta, there he learned the rites of Necromancy. When Cyprian was twenty he traveled to Egypt where he stayed for ten years studying to cast powerful spells and incantations. By the time he was thirty he went to the Chaldeans to master the science of astrology, and it was there that he completed his study.

He eventually took the career as a professional sorcerer and did very well in the business. Soon after opening shop Cyprian met Justina, a young Christian woman, and fell madly in love with her. He tried to gain her love through sorcery and even conjured powerful spirits for assistance but nothing worked. Every day Justina prayed and marked herself with the sign of the cross which protected her. Every time one of Cyprian’s magical attempts failed he tried stronger and more powerful ones...each one failing. Cyprian was so impressed with the power of the Cross and Justina beliefs of prayer the he eventually gave up his pagan ways and became a Christian.
The second legend is that Cyprian never renounce sorcery, he secretly practiced it alongside of his Christian front. It’s believed that Cyprian and Justina became a magical dynamic duo. Legend tells that Cyprian recorded much of his occult knowledge in a secret book which is still circulating today.

Prayer
Prayer To San Cipriano For Protection
In the name of Jesus,
I invoke San Cipriano through this prayer
And charge it with my devotion.
San Cipriano, take me as your loyal and humble follower.
Grant me your protection
And liberate me of any danger and harm from my enemies.
Liberate me of evil, and of any rabid and poisonous animal,
Free me of curses and incantations.
Move away all dangers and harm that surround me.
Work through my body and teach me your knowledge
So that I may use them for the good of mankind. Amen

Stop Clowning Around

Coulrophobia … the fear of clowns.  For a while now, I’ve been reading articles from around the world reporting that someone dressed as a clown is standing on the street corner … just standing there staring at people who pass by, chasing someone, or luring children into secluded areas.  Everyone who has been a witness to these encounters all agree that it is creepy and frightening.  Today these reports and more frequent and more widely spread in areas all over the world. 

I have always loved clowns.  In fact, I have a collection of over 300 clown knick knacks that I’ve acquired over the years.  I agree, these reports that I am reading about are very concerning but they have made me look at my treasured collection in a different light.

  Here is a link of several clown reports.

What do you think?  Have you witnessed these creepy clowns in your area?
