Some of you should be healed by holy well water and it shows
What you need:
Steps to get cured:
Go on your way and be patient
As the cloth disintegrates, so does your ailment
What you need:
- A sacred spring – within it a tree tied with rags
- A piece of cloth – natural fiber and enough to knot around a branch
- Prayers – good ones to secure your request
Steps to get cured:
- Dip your fabric into the blessed water
- Wash the part of your body that is the source of your sickness
- Humbly say your prayers
- Tie the cloth to the tree
Go on your way and be patient
As the cloth disintegrates, so does your ailment
