The first ritual for healing

Goal: To help [name of subject] recover from [name of illness].
Steps:

• Invocation
• Make poppet
• Naming ritual

"Little one I made you and now I give you life. I name you [name of target], her body is your body, her breath is your breath, her emotion is your emotion. Though seperate you were, now you are one."

Once the doll is made, put it to one side and make a tiny amulet bag.
On a pice of paper, write: "[Target's illness] is banished with the burning of this paper," while visualising the illness going away.
Light a black candle and burn this piece of paper, visualising the illness being driven away.
Place ashes and cypress leaves in amulet bag, sew up.
Tie the tiny amulet bag to poppet, as you do, say over the doll and amulet: "With this amulet you are protected from [illness]."

Spend a few minutes caring for the poppet before wrapping the poppet and putting away.
Be sure to thank deities before you finish.

At the end of the week the poppet was carefully buried at the base of a strong tree.

During this same week the subject was hospitalized and successfully treated for an illness which had lasted nine months, during which she was unable to work. Two weeks later she found a new job, where she has been working happily and healthily since.
