It is necessary to take two needles and speak them. Above the first it is necessary to say such a conspiracy:
"A good merchant, bring me a wedding ring. As they call you, they know about that. And I have a ring for a young woman, and bread for salt on the table. The truth is my words for the measured! ".
Over the second needle, you should say:
"I am beautiful girl blush and prigozha. She played the sparrow, the bridegroom beckoned. Goy, you fellow, al boyar, al merchant, al visiting fellow. Come on bread and salt. The truth to my words for the measured! "
After that, the needles need to be plugged into the loaf with a cross and salt it with salt. Then you need to leave it at night on the doorstep, and in the morning place it at the highest level in the house and store the year.
There is a ritual that helped to improve and improve their beauty. It must be carried out at dawn and have spring water or baptismal water. When you wake up, you need to wash and say such a conspiracy:
"In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. How red the sun rises, as all the people rejoice to him, so let my face be red and rosy. Everyone would look at me, not see enough, rejoice, not rejoice. I would have been everything, the servant of God (name) was pretty. The key to my words. Amen".
Effective was the rite on the Red Hill for wealth, thanks to which you can get rid of existing financial problems and attract cash flow. For the ritual, the icon "Savior of the Golden Vlas" is needed, and if it does not exist, the "Savior in the Force" will also suit. It is still necessary to have a spring or sacred water, as well as a container of clay or, at the extreme, an ordinary basin. In one hand, you need to hold the icon over the container, and another to water it with water, while saying seven times such a conspiracy :
"In the seven temples there are seven pillars,
And in one thing only, God forbid.
To that God's pity is the true word.
Put God down, God himself Solomon.
Who before God's hand will touch,
With these words the holy icon will be washed,
To that rich destiny will be opened, treasures will be exposed.
Gold, silver will mourn for the servant of God (name).
Truly there is, it will be true, Give God the Servant of God (name) for ever and ever will not forget.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".
Then the water should be washed up with water and poured into a tree. The icon can be considered an amulet.
The ritual for fulfilling the coveted desire is identical to the previous one, but only here the plot needs to be read by another:
"Jesus Christ was coming from heaven,
Nes holy miracle Cross,
He healed the sick, helped the poor,
Glory and honor erected.
My God! My God! Help me, too.
Do for Christ's sake for me (this and that and that).
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Now, ever and ever and ever. Amen".
