AN EFFECTIVE AMPAROby E BRYANT HOLMAN

Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2002 23:53:39 -0500

From: "E Bryant Holman" ([email protected])Subject: An Effective Amparo

No curandero would ever work without an amparo. Ifyou cure a person who has been "mal puesto", the spell,after leaving the body of the victim, will just go rightinto you, and you will either become sick, in grave danger,or you will just have aches, pains, and a headache. In anyevent, it is not worth it, so don't even try!

The best amparo is one that comes naturally, and that isthe fact of being "cruzado": having a very clearly markedcross on the palm of ones right hand.

After that, an effective amparo is one that is givento you by a powerful curandero, who would have to be morepowerful than any brujas or hechiceros against whom onemight cross swords, if one were to remove spells from"patients", or if one were to go about conjuring up spiritsand "opening the windows" to the spirit world.

Barring either of these circumstances, the mosteffective sources of amparo are:

1. The Santa Cruz

2. San Miguel Arcangel

3. San Cipriano del Campo Mayor

The most effective use of the Santa Cruz is thepractice known as "persinarse". There are several sayings,which are repeated to give force to this practice, and thenthere is ritual itself.

One crosses oneself, in a motion that the staff goesfrom up to down, symbolizing the planting of the cross onGolgotha, over the bones of Adam, and the crossbar is fromright to left "porque el demonio siempre se arrima por lamano izquierda" - to show that one moves from the evil to

the good.

First one crosses oneself on the forehead, across

the eyes, with the words "Por la se�al de la Santa Cruz"(Through the sign of the Holy Cross)

Next one crosses oneself over the mouth with thewords "De nuestros enemigos" (From our enemies)

Next one crosses ones heart with the words "L�branos

Se�or Di�s nuestro" (Free us Lord our God)

Then one crosses oneself from the forehead to themidsection and from shoulder to shoulder with "En el nombre

del Padre, Hijo y Esp�ritu Santo, Am�n" (In the name of theFather, Son, and Holy Ghost, Amen), and on the last syllable

of "Am�n" one touches ones heart, and then kisses oneshand, which is held in the sign of the Santa Cruz.

The sign in which one holds ones hand when one doesthis is thus:

The thumb is upright and the forefinger bent, withthe thumb in front as you look at it, forming a cross. Thethree remaining fingers are held straight up symbolizing thethree nails. You must only use your right hand.

Here are the saying that are associated with the"persinarse":

"Cruz SantaCruz FuerteTe convidoEn la horaDe la MuerteCon los clavos Me persinoY me abrazo de la CruzEn mi cabecera pongo

A mi verdadero Jes�s"

"Holy Cross,Mighty CrossI invite you

in the hour of my deathWith the nails I cross myselfI embrace the CrossAnd on my bedstead Iplace my True Jesus."

******************************************

"�Porqu� nos persinamos tantas veces?Porque endondequiera nos persiguen nuestros enemigos.

�La Cruz tiene virt�d para librarnos de nuestros enemigos?

S�. Tiene virt�d, por haber muerto Cristo en ella.La primera en la frente

Para que nos libre Di�sDe los malos piensamentos.

La segunda en la boca

Para que nos libre Di�sDe las malas palabras.La terceraa en el pecho

Para que nos libre Di�sDe las malas obras."

"Why do we cross ourselves so many times?

Because wherever we are, our enemies follow.Does the Holy Cross have virtue to free us from our enemies?Yes. It does have [that] virtue, through Christ having died on it.The first on the foreheadSo that God might free usOf evil thoughts.The second on the mouthSo that God might free usOf evil words.The third on the breastSo that God might free usOf evil works."

***************

The prayer of San Miguel Archangel:

"San Miguel Arc�ngel,

defi�ndenos en la batalla.

S� nuestro amparo

contra la perversidad y asechanzasdel demonio.

Repr�male Dios, pedimos suplicantes,

y t� Pr�ncipe de la Milicia Celestial,arroja al infierno con el divino poder

a Satan�s y a los otros esp�ritus malignosque andan dispersos por el mundo

para la perdici�n de las almas.

Am�n."

"Saint Michael Archangeldefend us in the battleBe our protection

against perverstiy and sorceryof the devil.Repress him, God, we supplicants pray Thee,and you Prince of the Celestial Militia,fling into hell with your divine powerSatan and the other milign spiritswho go about dispersed in the worldfor the loss of souls.Amen"

In order to have amparo either before one opens the"window to the spirit world", or if one fears one has beenhexed, or if one is attempting a limpia and fears that the

spirits that are cast out will go into oneself, one praysthis prayer, with the following acts:

1. Take a picture of oneself, or the person who willreceive the amparo, and place it between to images of SanMiguel - one image above and one below. If no picture isavailable, write the person's name on a pice of paper andsubsitute it for the picture.

2. Place a red candle (preferably an actual votive

**************************

The use of San Cipriano as an amparo.

1. Place and image of San Cipriano over the name orphotograph of the person who will have the amparo.

2. Light a purple candle, preferably a votive candleof the saint himself.

Pray the complete set of prayers including the threecreeds each time you perform any cures, limpias, or spells,especially if you are working with dangerous spirits, likethe Santisima Muerte, for instance.

MY FIRST LIMPIAby E BRYANT HOLMAN

Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2002 22:36:59 -0500

From: "E Bryant Holman" ([email protected])Subject: My First Limpia, or, "Against the Gallina Negra"

I have visited several times now with Carlitos who, asyou know, is a powerful curandero who lives in GomezPalacio, Durango. Carlitos is going to instruct me from someof the ancient books he has, and he is going to help me withthe book on curanderismo and brujeria that I am going topublish.

On Thursday of last week, I spoke to an American couplewho have been here for about four months now - mostlystaying at a place that they believe to be La Esmeralda, asmall community near here across the Rio Conchos fromOjinaga: but where they actually are is a neighboringcommunity of San Francisco, or San Pancho as it is popularlyknown, which is just over the hill from La Esmeralda.

I told them that I knew San Pancho very well, as I usedto visit there a lot, when I dated a girl from there, Eva,some ten or so years ago, when I was first working on thisbook. I said that I liked the girl, and everything was finewith her and her family, except that I finally got fed upwith all of them because of their obsession with brujeria,which seemed to dominate their thinking, to the point that Ifinally just left the girl, because I didn't want to hearany more about it.

The couple said that this was uncanny that I shouldmention this, and they had the same impression, and that

this brought up some items that they had not discussed withanyone else. So, to make a long story short, it is clearthat the woman, Connie, has been bewitched and that her lifeis in mortal danger.

They have been staying at the house of a man who hascertain characteristics related, in a way, to schizophrenia- he talks to himself and repeats things over and overagain. He rides a burro around, and I have seen him manytimes, but I have never spoken to him. The funny thingis that I took a picture of him on his burro several yearsago, and it is on the background of an old home page ofmine, located at

http://home.talkcity.com/GalleryDr/eduardo/index.html

Recently, Connie said that she saw a mark on this man'sarm - three red dots in the form of a perfect triangle - andwhen she asked the man what this was, responded by asking,"Sabes de las brujas?" Later, Connie saw these same threemarks on her own body, and later on, when she looked theywere gone.

I asked Cuca about this later that day, and she saidthat Connie was in mortal danger, that she was going to die.I asked her if she could cure Connie, and she said that shecould, but then the "mal" would go into her, and she wouldbe in danger. She said that this was "La Gallina Negra" [The

Black Hen or Black Pullet] - a particularly powerful andevil type of magia negra. You can look that up on theinternet, on Google, and find references to this, which aretaken out of the Book of San Cipriano, by the way.

http://www.apocatastasis.com/trans_magn22.htmis an example of what I am talking about.

[Actually, the name comes from the 18th century Frech grimoire"The Black Pullet," in my opinion -- cat]

I asked her if Carlitos could cure her, and she said that he certainlycould - that he was more powerful than any practitioners of La GallinaNegra. I knew that already, actually. So I told Connie that she didn'tneed to worry, that she was going to be all right, but that she hadbetter not go anywhere, and that she had better be available whenCarlitos got back from Gomez.

What suddenly worried me greatly was when it suddenly occured to methat this was a Thursday, and that the next day, Friday, was one thedays in which the witches can hear you when you are talking aboutthem. So, I knew that Connie and her husband, Darren, would talk aboutthis between themselves, and the witches would hear my name, and Iwould be in grave danger. So, it happens that Carlitos had given mehis card and told me that I could call him there in Gomez any time Iwanted to, and that he would be available for me. So I did just that.

At first I tried him at home, and he didn't answer, so I called him onhis cell phone, and I spoke to him, and I told him my situation. Hetold me what to do to be protected for now, and that when he got home,

he would provide a protection for me on his own altar there, and Iwould be completely safe, with an "amparo". What he instructed me todo is the following:

Take two images of San Miguel Arcangel, and place one above and onebelow a photo of yourself - or of the person who will given theamparo. Get a red candle (preferably a veladora of San Miguel himself,which I just so happened to have), say the prayer to San Miguel(which happens to be on the back of the veladora - that was handy!)and light the candle and set it on top of the images.

Later, I talked to Carlitos again, and he said not to worry about athing - that he had placed an amparo for me and that when he got toOjinaga, he would fix everything. I thanked him for that, and I tookhome a novena of San Miguel, and I have started that. Last night I wason the third prayer.

For my images of San Miguel that I placed my photo between, I usednovenas, since I have a whole lot of them anyway.

Connie and Darren were supposed to come back that evening, but Ididn't see them until the next day, Friday. When they got there, Idecided that, since Carlitos had an amparo for me, I would be safe indoing a limpia for Connie. So, I did just that.

I gave her a copy of the novena of San Miguel, and told her to look athis picture, and meditate on that, and to take off her glasses and

baseball hat. Next, I did three persinaciones, and I told her to, atthe point that one usually kisses the cross and three nails that onemakes with one's own hand, that she do that herself - on "amen" shekiss her own hand. After that, I got a small crucifix and just madethe sign of the cross in the same pattern as one does with thepersinacion, and I prayed the Doce Verdades del Mundo while doing so.I then pulled the evil ("males") out of her fingertips, and I said,three times: "Espiritu de Connie, ven y no te quedes", to which Iinstructed her to reply "Ay Voy".

After that I annointed her on the head with Perfume de Siete Machosmixed with holy water, and I asked her to turn around, and, into thecenter her back, just below her shoulder blades, I blew one strongpuff, and told her she was ready.

I told her to bring me a photo of herself, which she did later, and Iput it in with mine between the two images of San Miguel, and told herto pray the prayer on the back of the candle. She asked me if sheshould do so in English of Spanish, and I told her either one, and shechose Spanish.

She said that she felt a lot better: That, up until then, she had felta terrible depression, and that this ritual had completely lifted it.I was glad she felt that way, but I was not so sure myself about theeffectiveness of all of this, and I called Carlitos again later, and Itold him all of the new details. He did not say whether my effortswere worth the trouble or not, frankly, but he asked what her namewas, and I said "Connie", and he said he would put up an amparo forher, too, and that she would be safe. Later on, I told her so.

Connie has had sort of like premonitions, which I would say areprobably like communications from her guardian angel, at variousstages in this. And she is sure that she was informed that I amsupposed to begin practicing what I have learned, and that this iswhat I was doing here.

She said that she was pretty sure that the witches were spying on her,and I told her that they would probably just send ghosts to do that,but that she would know that they were coming personally to spy on herif she saw either a small owl - a lechuza - or a ball of light. Shesaid that she had indeed seen a ball on light - in the room where shewas the night before, up in the corner.

She also said that she had heard a voice, and that shecould not make out all of the words, but that one word thatwas repeated a lot was "regresar" and "regresando". I toldher that the witch was complaining that Carlos was going toturn their magic back on them ("regresar el mal"). When Italked to him about that, he said that this was true. He wasvery angry because they would have tried to harm me, andthat he was going to punish them. "Estan jodidas," he said.This is going to be a classic "pleito entre brujos". Cucasays he is going to take away their power. But I think he isgoing to do worse than that.

Athttp://www.fundacionglobalnature.org/imagenes/gallina1.JPG

there is a picture of the traditional gallina negra, aSpanish breed, which is what one uses in the ritual ofinitiation to the secret knowledge of the sect. However,these hens are not available, and so, the witches hereperform another kind of sacrifice instead, which is sounspeakable, that I won't even speak about it. But, sufficeit to say, that if you knew what I was referring to, you sayto me - tell Carlos to to his worst!

Connie and Darren are moving to another place. They weremoving today, and they stopped by to see me a couple oftimes. Connie's sister in law is a publisher and moviemaker, and Connie is going to help us get our book published(I say "our" book because I have a feeling that Carlos isgoing to contribute so much stuff that I will have to givehim credit, in all fairness).

Carlitos had some input from the spirits that guide him,concerning the book. They want to make sure this book hasinformation which readers who have undeveloped "dones"(plural of "don" - to be clear here) will need. What theirconcern is (the spirits, that is) that these people, if theychoose to take up magia blanca, that they have amparo, andso it is especially important that I include certain prayersfrom these very old books, which I must recommend for thispurpose.

Santa Cruz de Caravaca Amulet Most spells that are used in Mexican magic are love spells, and one of the most famous isthat of Santa Elena de la Cruz, which a lot of people have memorized, albeit in slightly

different versions. Others are for healing, typically. One such prayer and ritual is thehealing spell of the Santa Cruz de Caravaca. This name is also the title of a small bookletwhich contains many very old prayers, various versions of which are used by curanderosfor different purposes.

This amulet has been "prepared", which is to say, it has been rendered effective and givenpower by a Mexican curandero, Carlos Cisneros, of Gomez Palacios, Durango, who usedthe curing method from the ancient grimorio La Clavícula del Rey Salomon. This involvesa series of special prayers to the seven spirits of the seven days, plus setting the amulets outin the light of the waxing moon, and the use of both incense and special perfume.

Besides the healing spell below, the Cruz de Caravaca is actually worn or carried as aprotection against all forms of evil - particularly against black magic. There is a book orprayers used by curanderos, known as La Santa Cruz de Caravaca, and the prayerinvoking the power of this cross is central to the collection.

The following is a description of the healing spell, in the original Spanish, and after that,my translation:

Para potenciar tu bienestar...Receta de la Cruz de Caravaca

En qué casos la utilizo:

· Últimamente mi salud está pasando por un mal momento.· Un familiar está atravesando una enfermedad y deseo que se recupere lo antes posible.· Quiero mejorar mi estado de salud.

Qué necesito:

· Una vela de color azul.· Un papel fino.

· Celo.· Una foto de la persona enferma.

Este ritual lo puede hacer la persona que está enferma, o bien un familiar o amigo ennombre de ella. La duración del ritual es de nueve días.

Comenzamos. Escribe en un papel el nombre de la persona que se encuentra mal. Una vezhecho esto, enrolla el papel alrededor de la vela y pégalo a ésta con celo. Si tienes una fotode la persona enferma, ponla al lado de la vela. A continuación, enciende la vela, y en unaposición de recogimiento y oración, inicia el ritual repitiendo la siguiente oración, ya seamencionándote a ti o a la persona que quieres que mejore:
