-But this here molitovku, Irisha on, take it with you. In the handbag laid to always carry a. It will save you from a man and a dashing, and by accident, God forbid, and from every evil. You read it and do not forget, especially if the important thing will be - Maria Semyonovna handed me a thin piece of paper filled with her neat handwriting.

-What kind of prayer, Mary Semyonovna?

-And Jesus Christ, oberezhnaya prayer to protect from any harm.

-Oberezhnaya? How is it?

-A so that when it's the matter, rewritten, or more as you want, vyshey it rag, for example, so she'll oberezhet from any adversity.

"And if I get sick?

-And then to help. But only from the disease has its charms.

-Hey, can I have a disease? - Very much I wanted to protect themselves from any ailment, and his sons to give to much or the flu to them did not cling nor worse than that.

-Can-it can, of course, I do not mind. But only just does not work oberezhnaya prayer. For each - their rule, each requires specific attention.

This conversation with Maria Semyonovna Fyodorovskaya occurred, we are literally on the first day of our acquaintance, when I arrived in the far northern village after a long break. Then many times I came to these lands that have become almost family to me. And every time we have with Mary Semyonovna worked hard - she taught me the ancient laws of divination, and quackery, we created a book that everyone could find happiness and to protect themselves and their loved ones from evil ancient Old Believers Hex. And there was no case to Mary Semyonovna would not give me a some prayer or a conspiracy, which she copied for me, and explained to me in detail what this prayer, or conspiracy to do. I'm hemming them in clothes, she hid in a passport or wallet, kept under the insoles of shoes ... and I now bank of these leaflets are thin yellow paper as the pupil of an eye! And many are constantly carry with them.

You probably ask, why? Well, how can we benefit from some copied words? Great benefit, I want to tell you! That earlier after a long walk (and in fact I - reporter, has to walk a lot, a car is not acquired, and do not want to - scare tube) tired, but as Mary put molitovki Semyonovna his sneakers, and no more aching feet. And the flu in the fall or spring of each year was packing for a long time in bed, depart from me. Notice and money in your wallet there - no longer have to "shoot" until payday. Say, the economy as a whole has increased? But even at quite the growing economy of the country I could hardly hold out until the next paycheck. And now offers to work on dropping from the horn of plenty, and the work of all - do not beat lying!

When molitovok accumulated I have a great quantitative in, I offered Mary Semyonovna them to introduce our readers to not only me but all the people they had. She agreed and we decided it required a large section of the book devoted to the texts of charms that people could write lyrics and stick wherever you need.

I asked Mary Semyonovna whether you can not rewrite the slanders and prayers as well, such as their otkserokopirovat or even cut from the book.

Ripple-can - thinking, "she said .- But the cut should not have. Laptop port - it's not good. And then: today, you will need one tomorrow - another. And, each time a new book to buy and cut? But it is better to rewrite ...

"Why?" - I specified.

"Because if the will and the sense of writing on paper and ink is transferred. Rewritten hex breathes good wishes. His words themselves are. And then to him again and added to feelings experienced when copying, you know? When rewriting those treasured words, the willy-nilly, to delve into all that to ask them all personally imagine it - how your life will emerge, if fulfilled.

"But you said otkserokopirovat still possible?

-So. Because you're the paper in your hands you take, to see to it that all properly formed, each shaped as letters read on ... Again, think of how it all will be, what kind of life you want yourself or your neighbor.

Maria Semyonovna, and in fact, it turns out do not care who the text of a conspiracy or a prayer overwrite? Or the man himself, or he has someone who wants the good and welfare, will give ... That's - you gave me you copied the leaves ...

-Exactly! Only the plot should be rewritten not just to anyone, it is unclear whom, benefit, and for a specific person. And if someone would undertake to write another, let him represent himself, himself in his heart for it prays and asks Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary pozastupnichat and tribulations take. Only Irina, here it is not quite simple ... - Why, Mary Semyonovna? You gave me some charms, I had them always correctly applied. And they cherish my home ... What can there be any questions?

A such that people hang round charms and they shall walk, like a Christmas tree, and to think that way all their problems poreshali. And do not dare because if people did not begin to do. It is only in fairy tales can talk away from the fire and climb into the conflagration so not to scorch. And actually - obgorite, though twenty times rave! The first thing everyone should take care of itself, that's sure to have people say. Amulets'll take adversity and setbacks, if their man to himself privazhivat will not. But if you will ... Here, nobody and nothing will help. Jesus Christ gave us all freedom to choose their own road on which to go. You want - will choose the path to good life to live, raise kids, grandkids enjoy. And you want - you can go and a minute to break his neck, again you are so right.

Maria Semyonovna, who is neck-it currently wants to break? - I'm puzzled.

Yes, anything can happen, Ira, I've seen too much of anything. Just when you're doing in life, to run into some kind of hardship and trouble, it's silly to expect that the amulet will save you from yourself. Do you understand? With its head should be friends, understand their responsibilities. I've been afraid that if people amulets will then decide that for them now God is responsible, but they are nothing and think should not, no action should be taken to guard himself.

And we decided to write a memo to the different charms to all sorts of occasions. What to do and what not to do so as not to interfere with Ward to work. Maria Semyonovna requested to write this memo to me, because my book is primarily addressed to urban residents, and urban life, it is not well known and many things are not parsed. For example, she might say, what to do to avoid injury when kosish grass in a meadow. But not be able to give qualified advice on how not to get into an accident, driving a car. She just knows exactly sure what you need to follow certain rules. And what - asked me to paint. And I did it. You will find in front of each section with conspiracies special reminder of what security measures should be taken by that Ward worked. I, of course, is also not an expert in everything. Had to consult with knowledgeable people, for what all my mates thanks a lot!

And yet. Maria Semyonovna warns: Charm for every occasion of life is really your only one! Them in a book many will find some long, others short. They act the same way. You when you come to rewrite the amulet for a specific case, please read them first, think about which words are closer to you in what you are sure it will help. It, and rewrite. But everything is not necessary, this case unnecessary, troublesome and dangerous. Maria Semyonovna so says about it: "If a few charms on the same make and carry with them or, for example, in a house set, then they will not know who is responsible for what. And it may be that everyone on the other ponadeetsya, and no host-and not oberezhet. When alone, he is responsible for everything. And when a lot is unclear to whom and to seek for help when needed. "
