Black magic in church rituals. Exposing Church Rituals (The Essence of Church Magic). How to cast a love spell on church candles

This article was taken from the Eniology website, from the book of the same name. Rogozhkin, of course, goes too far in his descriptions of what is happening, constantly leading to complete hopelessness, because in any process you can see a positive meaning - if something exists in this world, then it is needed for something. Trust what your truth barometers tell you.

Church is a place where gentlemen who have never been to heaven tell tales to those who will never get there.

G. Mencken

The reader probably noticed the author’s negative attitude towards all kinds of religious dogmas. And this is not without reason. The criterion is thousands of patients affected by magical religious rituals. Their testimony is documented by video recordings.

In 1998-1999, reports appeared in various media about the crimes of the “holy” church. This includes participation in the “diamond business”, and the flourishing of homosexuality in church circles, and the organization of elite brothels in monasteries, and laundering mafia money... But these, so to speak, are earthly crimes, visible to the naked eye. But there is also a hidden, esoteric side to this coin.

The history of the emergence of modern religious denominations goes far into the past, into Hermeticism Ancient Egypt. Occult knowledge, according to Hermes Mercury Trismegistus, should have belonged not only to initiates, but also to profane people - people who had not undergone cult initiation. For this purpose, the laws of energy-information exchange in the Universe were adapted into the form of parables and commandments. The disciples of Hermes, who possessed the most powerful magical abilities, went with this simplified esoteric knowledge throughout the world.

For the most part, if people do not understand something, they begin to fear and deify, giving the incomprehensible phenomenon some meaning ordained from above. Or, on the contrary, they try to destroy it, get rid of it, if they have enough strength to do so. A similar fate awaited the disciples of Hermes. Some were deified, others were, at best, consigned to oblivion. Analysis of the history of many esoteric schools, including religious ones, allows us to understand what is happening today. Usually, after the death of the Teacher, his followers quickly transform the entire Teaching into reverse side 180 degrees. Those interested can familiarize themselves with this problem in more detail in Manly P. Hall's monograph "An Encyclopedic Exposition of Masonic, Hermetic, Kabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolic Philosophy."

Religions - all of them - are ridiculous: their morals are designed for children. Their promises are selfish and monstrously stupid.

Guy de Maupassant

In 138 AD, perhaps the most barbaric crusade ever took place. It was a campaign in Egypt to destroy all historical traces of the primogeniture of Christianity. Temples, libraries, and statues of Serapis, the “prototype” of Christ, God, whose birthday was celebrated from December 25 to 26, were destroyed. The ideas of the cults of Priapus and Isis, borrowed by the orthodox from Christianity from the ancient Egyptians, arose several thousand years earlier than the “splitting off” of Christianity itself from these esoteric clans. The ancient symbolism of these cults was reflected even in architecture: bell towers and mosques symbolize the masculine principle, and the narrow and high windows of the temples symbolize the feminine. Further more. The entire history of Christianity throughout the era of Pisces is drowning in the blood and mud of the enslavement of peoples: for Gentiles, along the roads along which the “army of Christ” marched - TAU and only then - crosses, symbolizing the phallus in magic, the fires of the Inquisition and indulgences, monasticism cultivating lesbianism and homosexuality, as well as entire torture workshops in the basements of monasteries. At the same time, the “holy brotherhood” did not forget to take a lot of money for communion with God - a wonderful business. A phallus-cross was hung around the neck of the communicants, so that it was clearly visible who replenished the treasury of the Most Holy Church and who did not. There is no cross on the neck - one can go to the cross or to the fire.

Just think about it! Giordano Bruno was burned in the fire that Prometheus stole from the gods!

WITH. Lec

The ideas of the magical clan, called Christianity, appealed to those in power and were often alien to the common people. After all, the rulers, according to Christian canons, were proclaimed the representatives of God on Earth and, accordingly, had every right to pass judgment on everyone in the name of God with impunity. That is why Rus' went through baptism a thousand years ago. And it’s not just that the entire previous segment of history has been quietly thrown out of textbooks, with the exception of rare dates. For many of our fellow citizens, the history of Rus' begins somewhere shortly before the questionably existing Tatar-Mongol yoke. And before that - so, the fog of nothingness. The historical self-awareness of the Russian people was not beneficial to the newly-made viceroys of God on Earth! National characteristics did not play any role in this.

If God did not exist, he would have to be invented.

Voltaire

“Two thousand years - war, war without special reasons...” For two thousand years, Christ’s teaching about love and brotherhood was implanted by fire and sword. And when the horses rested and the swords and axes cooled down from the zealous conversion of the Gentiles to the Teachings of Christ, it was possible to have some fun. In yet another village, homosexual brother-monks with black cross-phalluses on their robes drove all the women - “fiends of Hell” - to the river, tied one hand to the leg and threw them into the water. If you drowned, then you are clean before God. If not, then she is a witch. To the fire! After such a “rest,” for example, in German villages, at best, only one or two women remained. The homosexual brothers did not even spare babies.

One could list for a long time the karmic crimes of Christianity in destroying the gene pool of our civilization (in other faiths it is almost the same). Sooner or later you have to answer for violating the laws of energy-information exchange. Karmic processing occurs either through awareness, repentance to people, or through illness, blood, death.

Hell could only be invented by people and for people consumed by hatred and thirst for revenge.

P. Lafargue

The luminaries of orthodox Christianity did not understand why the October Revolution 1917 - the political system in Russia after baptism never changed! For almost the entire thousand years we have been living under esoteric monarchism. At the same time, it does not matter at all what this “monarch” is officially called: king, president or secretary general. With the next division of power between esoteric clans at the beginning of our century, Christianity, through the destruction of temples, was given the opportunity to work out the karma for all two thousand years of continuous crimes. Not understood! And seventy years later, along with the Americanized perestroika, everything began again.

I recall the words of one old man who died in the early 50s, who went through Stalin’s camps and, at the same time, was anathematized by Christianity that was “underground” at that time. “Don’t give money for the restoration of churches and temples,” he said. “When the last temple is restored, the End of the World will come!” I remembered these words when I saw, as if on a mass grave, the names and names of companies carved in marble on the walls of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. The Last Temple!..

I will no longer bother the reader with “lyrical digressions.” Let us begin to consider the cult-ritual side of the life of modern Christianity. In the Universe there is no black and white, good and bad, harmful and useful. These concepts contain a purely subjective approach of this particular era. This equally applies to such concepts as love and beauty.

There is no white or black magic. There are creative and destructive directions in applied esotericism, which is magic. All religions emerged from the esotericism of Hermeticism, and nothing magical is alien to them. It all depends on specific people, they use this knowledge for good or harm: they heal the soul and body, or zombify the flock and envolve them to death.

Unfortunately for many scientific and religious orthodoxies, manuscripts do not burn. And today we have received yet another confirmation of this ancient wisdom. At the end of April 1996, the entire scientific world was shocked by the greatest archaeological find of the era. The original Gospel of Matthew in ancient Greek was discovered in the archives of the London Museum. The find, along with the rest of the exhibits, lay in the museum’s storage room and was waiting for its time since 1911, when it was brought from excavations by an Egyptian archaeological expedition. The discovery of secret documents from the Vatican archives did not add ideological stability to the modern representatives of God on Earth. These manuscripts indicate that Christ could not have been born in Judea and is a native of India! And American astrologers compiled all sorts of options for the natal chart of Christ - he could not have been crucified! This fully confirmed the logical conclusion: how could God allow a crowd of atheists to mock his son like that? Christ, you see, appeared on Earth in order to atone with his death the sins of people mired in the blood and abomination of existence. After this, the crowd of slaughtered sheep only needs to pray fervently, fast and... continue to sin - after all, Christ has already redeemed everything with his death! This ideological move allowed those in power to organize, through church magic rituals, the dumping of their karmic responsibility for all crimes against humanity on parishioners who understand nothing about magic. What is now accepted as the Bible is, at the very least, a greatly corrupted translation from the Hebrew. We can only hope that in the near future the world community will be able to familiarize itself with the Greek original of the Gospel for comparison with the versions of existing translations. But let's analyze for now what we have.

"“Sheep slain and servants of God” is practically the only way in existing translations that representatives of earthly civilization are called. When magic, which always ensures the stability of power, came to understand that for calling Spirits and using the power of other egregors in ritual actions, sooner or later you will have to pay with your own incarnational cycles - complete loss of freedom to enter materialization and eternal slavery in these egregors, bidding began for the extension of life at least in this body, in this physical shell. But in order to stay alive, it was necessary to give something to these egregors. So, as payment for the extension of mortal life, other people's victims - babies, virgins ... The younger the victim, the greater the potential received by the Extraterrestrial Intelligence, which purposefully created this chaos on Earth. Extraterrestrial Intelligence can be destructive and not necessarily Supreme.

People are not angels, woven from the same light, but also not sheep that should be driven into one herd.

V.G. Korolenko

For commoners, this trade in souls was masked by various "elixirs of immortality" and " philosopher's stones". It was necessary to somehow justify his longevity. The place of the sacrifice itself was called briefly and clearly - the altar. Abel and Cain were the first to bring sacrifices to this very altar. Then Noah after the flood "took from every clean cattle and from every clean bird and offered a burnt offering on the altar. And the Lord smelled a pleasant aroma. And the Lord (God) said in his heart: I will no longer curse the earth for man..." (Genesis 8.20). Why disguise - the people are stupid. And the term "altar" migrated into modern Christianity. And it was done very by the way. The evolving society liked giving its children less and less to the bloody masses of the magical altar. A replacement was needed. This is where the churchmen needed the principle of magical identification, when for envoltation, that is, sacrifice, the astral-mental double of the victim is called up and transferred to any object or animal. In "village" magic, wax dolls are used for this. After the destruction of an object identified in this way or the sacrifice of an animal, the death of the victim itself occurs over time, wherever she is. At the same time, it is not at all necessary for the clergy themselves to perform this ritual. Stupefied, zombified the parish will do this itself: take a church candle, identify with it your health and the health of your loved ones (potential) and carry out self-immolation on the altar: the candle burns out - the potential burns out. Moreover, the churches themselves will voluntarily pay money for this. And if they ask well and pay, then the governors of God themselves will carry out envoltation- they will sing the living! This is the magic program envoltation to death. “Children are the flowers of life,” we say, and on the next Christian holiday, of which there are already 365 a year, we voluntarily carry cut identified flowers to the sacrificial altar. Who will notice the connection between this magical ritual and infant mortality?

Approach God not through rituals and ceremonies, but through inner feelings. Heaven is neither a place nor a time.

F. Nightingale

Easter is the holiest Christian holiday, say the “fathers” in robes, who have forgotten the words of Christ, who called on no one on Earth to be called Father and Teacher... Christ was resurrected when Easter, the pagan cult of Isis, was “celebrated.” In other words - worship of the phallus, the masculine principle. “The Passover of the Jews was approaching, and many from the whole country came to Jerusalem before the Passover to cleanse themselves. Then they looked for Jesus and, standing in the temple, said to each other: What do you think? Will He come to the feast? The high priest and the Pharisees gave orders, that if anyone knew where He would be, he would announce it in order to take Him” (John 11).

If Jesus Christ appeared today, no one would crucify him. They would have invited him to dinner, listened to him and laughed heartily.

T. Carlyle

The original idea of ​​the cult of Isis was as follows. When the evil Atlanteans killed and cut into 14 parts Osiris - the male half of the goddess Isis - and scattered him to all directions of the world, she herself went to collect these parts. We managed to collect everything except the genitals, which were swallowed by a crocodile - the Evil Spirit living in the Nile. For this, assembled in parts and magically revived husband, Isis ordered the production of an artificial golden lingam, also known as a phallus, the life-giving power of which was to be returned by annual human sacrifices. Every year on Easter, another specially chosen hermit, in the midst of a cult performance in front of a stupefied crowd, cut off his own male organs and threw them on the altar of Isis. Over time, this ritual began to evoke a feeling of disgust among the people, and the clergy of the altar of Isis transformed it into the sacrifice of identified phalluses made of dough - what is currently called Easter cakes in the church. Appropriate protein coating of the Easter cake on top and decorated chicken eggs complete the picture! Since the same times, pies have symbolized the feminine principle. Easter is the name given to a scale model of an Egyptian pyramid made from curd mass, thereby specifically pointing to the main symbol of the area where this pagan cult originated, which in our days has led to an increase in impotence and a sharp decrease in the birth rate of full-fledged representatives of earthly civilization.

Voltaire

Conjure so conjure. And in last decade Various satanic sects received powerful development. They became closely fused with religious structures. For example, the procession at Easter is usually accompanied by a ritual for choosing the “witch of the year” in a given area. Whoever manages to touch the crucifix being carried out first, while blocking her rivals, becomes the “prima donna” for the whole year.

The most superstitious eras were always the eras of the most terrible crimes.

Voltaire

The crucifix is ​​one of the main magical, working symbols in the rituals of orthodox Christianity. But on the cross - dead body Christ. By the way, then crosses were not used for execution. Christ was crucified (or more precisely, they could have been crucified) on the TAU - cross, but without the upper vertical part. Again, purposeful historical distortion of facts! Kissing the crucifix is ​​a pagan worship of the cult of death. This ritual in last years takes on a generally ugly character. The burial places of canonized saints are opened and thereby desecrated, their relics are divided and taken to cathedrals and churches, where parishioners are obliged to kiss these relics. In this way, the access to the next birth of actually advanced people who have tried in all centuries to reach human consciousness is blocked. So, for example, in Taganrog on June 20, another such act of vandalism and obscurantism was committed: under the auspices of the St. Nicholas Church, the production of bags with grave soil was launched. If you want, apply it to sore spots. Better yet, add it to a glass of water and drink!

Religious beliefs are a great excuse to do nasty things to people.

R. Aldington

The cult of death permeates all modern Christianity. “Pray, fast and receive the promised paradise. Christ atoned for all our sins with his blood on the cross,” says one of the magazines of the Moscow Patriarchate.

Whose sins, I wonder? Isn’t that why it’s been so easy throughout the Pisces era? evil was happening and blood was flowing river?

By the crucifixion of Christ, karma was removed from all destructors and transferred to all those who pray and fast... The moral norm became that geniuses should be born in poverty and squalor. "Talent must be hungry." To whom does it owe? The snickers, not recorded in the Book of Fates, those who, after his death, will for the time being make huge fortunes with impunity from him? The genius, you see, was somewhat ahead of his time with his birth. Isn’t this the reason for the idea of ​​the virgin birth of Christ...

The face of death is also visible on the so-called Living Help - a mourning ribbon with prayers. “May God rise again...” What happens: God died, and godless Christianity calls on him to rise again? Christ urged, when praying, not to say too much (Matthew 6), but there are whole volumes of prayer books, simultaneously successfully working both in the church and with the village grandmother-witch envolting to the death of another victim. Three times a day, forty times, they repeat “Our Father...” with servile petition. Oriental rosaries have already come into use. Where does all this come from? Are you too lazy to open the Bible again? Or then, hiding behind a cassock and the name of God, will it be a shame to cast magic? For whom then was it written: And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites who love in the synagogues (there were no Christian churches and temples then! - Auth.) and on the streets, stopping and praying in order to appear before people. Truly I tell you that they are already receiving their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room and, having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not say too much, like the pagans, for they think that in their many words they will be heard; Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him... (Matthew 6).

The most absurd of all despotisms, the most humiliating to human nature, the most incongruous and the most harmful is the despotism of priests.

Voltaire

"You only live once!" - we hear from the sacrificial altar from the “fathers” dressed in gold and silver, when Christ said: “We will not die, but we will change.” “Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he really enter into his mother’s womb another time and be born? Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom. God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be surprised at what I said to you: you must be born again. The Spirit breathes where it wills, and its voice is heard, but you do not know where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit..." (John 3). It is clear that it is completely disadvantageous for those born not of the Spirit for people to know about incarnation cycles.

Anyone who wishes to see the living God should seek Him not in the empty firmament of his own mind, but in human love.

F.M. Dostoevsky

Christ was baptized at a deeply conscious age. The same ritual that is now performed in temples and churches is well described not in the Bible, but in various books on magic that have flooded the market. Hair is cut off from the head in the shape of a cross, rolled into a wax ball, thrown into a font of water, or burned. In magic this action is called envoltation. In addition, since this magical ritual of initiation into the Christian egregor is performed against the will of the baby, it can be regarded as zombification (again, this applies to all religious movements). You will not find a ritual for the initiation of godfathers and mothers anywhere in the Bible. This ingenious magical trick allows you to easily carry out karmic transfers and replicate pseudo-karmic programs. After connecting the genealogical “trees” of the godmother and father during such a magical ritual, it becomes almost impossible to view a given person’s own karmic cause-and-effect relationships, which confuses healers who are not aware of the magical background of this ritual. At baptism, boys are led or brought to the altar, thereby preparing “cannon fodder” for the future. We must fulfill the task set in “Ezra” (book three): “The maidens will weep, having no suitors; the wives will weep, without having husbands; their daughters will weep, having no help. Their suitors will be killed in war, and their husbands will perish.” from hunger. Listen to this and understand, servants of the Lord!" And in order for it to work 100%, they organized churches right in military units and, in the name of God, “blessed” the soldiers to die and kill their own kind! Everything becomes clear: the circle, cross and pentagram are an invariable obligatory attribute of all magical rituals for thousands of years! That is why five-pointed stars are the symbol of all armies of the world. A pentagram with its point up, as on the Kremlin towers, is used in magic for zombification, subjugation of someone else's will; with the tip downwards - a challenge to demonic forces. This is what happens in Lately dense merging of the cross and pentagram.

Even better, from the point of view of the cult of Isis, is the rite of initiation into the eastern religious-magical egregors through circumcision of the upper flesh of the penis.Why cut off everything from one person when you can collect such a sacrificial harvest from everyone! At the moment of stress, a person is an open energy-informational structure, which makes it easy to remove his life potential and in return just as easily zombify him. Imagine the mental trauma this simple physiological operation causes to a child. And this trauma affects you throughout your life. And not only on a psychological level. The author has repeatedly worked with patients in Kazakhstan. There, for example, this ritual often takes a simply ugly form. Two hundred, two hundred and fifty boys are circumcised at once, timed to coincide with the next religious holiday: crying, blood... and then almost all of them end up in the hospital with sepsis. At the same time, parents pay $100 for this ritual! It is no coincidence that Kazakhstan is now experiencing an explosive spread of AIDS.

In our country, the church is officially separated from the state, but this very state carefully coexists hand in hand with this very “separate” one, and practically not a single state event is complete without Patriarch Alexy II. And the sensational accident, in which the 600th Mercedes of the Patriarch was involved, aroused increased interest among AiF correspondents about the income of Alexy II. In the Moscow Patriarchate, the correspondents were shamed in a completely unChristian way for such an interest in the Holy One and explained that the only income of this person is an old-age pension, which he transfers every penny to an orphanage in Khotkovo. Everything else - the apartment, the dacha, including the ill-fated Mercedes - is the property of the Patriarchate.

Wisdom begins where the fear of God ends.

A. Jew

“Whoever does evil will return ten times stronger!” Where will IT return from? The laws of conservation in the Universe have not been canceled. This is another voluntarily provided loophole for karmic transfers, both from earthly ones “burdened with evil” and from various computer centers to the entire earthly civilization. And at the same time, all the people voluntarily say “Amen”, not understanding later why everything around is sliding into the abyss.

Christ at one time expelled the merchants from the Temple. From the Spiritual Temple, and not from a specific religious building. The fact is that Mercury is the patron of esotericism, art and trade at the same time. It was the use of magical techniques in trade, and now in art - suggestions, psychotronic methods of advertising, zombies, etc. - that necessitated the separation carried out by Christ. But the church, as a political institution, has always tried to have its own economic base for independence. This has become especially evident in our days of pseudo-market economy. At the same time, the alms of the parishioners faded into the background. For example, in 1998, during an inspection of one of the Moscow warehouses, a smuggled batch of cigarettes worth a fantastic amount of dollars was discovered. It turned out that all this belongs to the Most Holy Patriarchate! And the case “quietly died out.” Surely, every 4th pack of imported cigarettes in Russia has gone through a church “blessing”! In almost any church, prices for a “ticket to God” are openly posted. To baptize - so much. Get married, have a funeral service, forgive sins... If you have money, come in. No - pass by. A funeral service for the deceased is performed only if there is a medical certificate of death. At the same time, the doctors themselves do not understand what is happening now - why practically healthy people are dying. And medicine itself is deeply mired in karmic crimes against civilization. Currently, seventy percent of death certificates, to put it mildly, do not correspond to reality. People who commit suicide are not given a funeral service in the church; it is customary to bury them outside the cemetery. Let the lower astral plane of suicides wander forever among the living and replicate the suicide program on the next!

No amount of money donated to atone for sins in any religion will save you from retribution... The biggest misconception of many religions is that they believe that it is possible to pray for sin without suffering and repentance, to redeem it, to beg for it. A person can ruin everything for himself and help himself.

Stanislav Poddubny

You cannot escape life, hide behind someone else's karmic back. The Pendulum of Fate of the next incarnation will throw the opposite sides “God does not please those who are sinless, but those who repent.” View previous reincarnations of pimps and prostitutes - monks and nuns. In the Ancient East they said: “There is no god who was not previously a man.” Jesus echoed these words: “You are Gods.”

“If there is a flock, there is a shepherd,” sang Viktor Tsoi. Some people like to be a herd. Some people benefit from being a shepherd. Everyone in this world makes their own choice. But everyone also becomes a judge for himself when moving into the next incarnation cycle. If, of course, he is born of the Spirit.

Does all of the above mean, although this is just a light touch on this topic, that it is now necessary to immediately organize a “crusade” against Christianity itself and others like it? No and no again! Evil cannot be eradicated by evil - this is how this world works. By fighting Satan, man himself becomes Satan! Evil is not outside. Evil is in man himself! Religions, having forgotten their original purpose, have become one of the facets of the enslavement of our civilization by Extraterrestrial Intelligence. This is no longer “the opium of the people.” This is called a karmic crime against the gene pool of civilization. Everyone will judge himself when he realizes that he exchanged Cosmic Immortality for the cost of 70-80 kg of a mortal body.

It is no coincidence that in the last years of the Pisces era there was an explosive birth and revival of opposing religious sects based on the teachings of Christ, Buddha, Krishna... In terms of their numbers and financial power, Hare Krishnas, Mormons, Adventists, Jahwists, etc. in a number of regions orthodox Christianity was left far behind. Naturally, this was facilitated by the powerful funding of these sects by foreign “guardians of the revival of our spirituality. With the persecution of people like Alexander Men in our own ranks, in the wars with domestic magicians, psychics, healers, there was no time to delve into the ongoing introduction of the “first beast, which has a mortal wound healed" (Rev. 13). What kind of monopoly of Orthodox Christianity can we talk about here, if even Alexander Lebed asked for forgiveness from the zombie team of Mormons?

It's an interesting situation. The Church anathematizes all who are against it. Including healers. At the same time, cases of “Divine healings” carried out once and by someone are cited as the main “trump cards”. But not now and not here!!! I would like to see at least one who recovered during a sermon or other magical ritual in church. Look at the faces of modern churchgoers: mindless zombies. Only religious fanaticism. Try to stand in the wrong place in church or do something wrong. A bunch of women will immediately attack you with curses, demonstrating “Christian humility.”

Go to any priest in church and ask him for healing. You will hear anything in response. They will tell you things like this tales about Christ, reverend saints and so on. You will be encouraged to pray, fast, donate more money to the church, but you will never receive concrete help there!

Ask any priest what actually happens during church magical rituals. Why do they spend part of the service in some clothes, then change into others? Why do they use such attributes in one ritual, and such in another? Why is it necessary to pray to an idol-icon? Why... And these questions are quite enough. As soon as the clergyman runs out of arguments, he will immediately declare you a “fiend of hell” and anathematize you!

They can be understood. Well, what can you do? God did not give them intelligence and abilities. Only greed and selfishness. It’s funny to watch how a “servant of God” drives up to the church in a foreign car, takes a cassock and cross out of his case and puts on an Adidas tracksuit.

Over the past decade, marked by an active revival of church life, Sunday schools in one form or another have appeared in most Russian parishes. Orthodox Church.

Over the past decade, marked by an active revival of church life, Sunday schools in one form or another have appeared in most parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church. They make a significant contribution to the churching and religious education of children, not only from church families, but also those whose parents are far from the Church. At the same time, in the process of understanding the activities of Sunday schools, it turns out that in the work of many of them there are many problems, both organizational and methodological. This, in particular, was discussed at the recent Christmas Educational Readings. The result of insufficiently effective work of Sunday schools is often the formal education and superficial churching of their pupils and, as a consequence, the subsequent departure of many of them from the Church in adolescence and adulthood. Therefore, at present, the task of improving methodological approaches to educational activities Sunday schools and their organizational structure. In this newsletter we contain materials that discuss the problems of parish religious education and talk about the useful experience of Sunday schools.

Orthodox education and upbringing of children in the conditions of modern parish life

O. Konstantin, what is the place of Sunday school in the life of the Church?

The place of Sunday schools in church life and their internal structure should be determined by the main task that is assigned to them. This is churching and church upbringing of children.

Of course, existing Sunday schools often solve other educational and educational problems, so that the students of these schools, by joining the church, also acquire useful knowledge and skills, which one can only rejoice at. But without churching, even knowing by heart Sacred history and liturgics can be useless for the salvation of the soul and even harmful. Therefore, the task of churching and church education should be considered as the main one, and all others should be considered only in relation to it.

What do you think Sunday school curriculum should be like?

At first glance, it seems certain that doctrinal subjects, such as the Orthodox catechism, Sacred history, liturgics and others, should be the basis of Sunday school. If our children know the commandments of God, are well versed in the Bible, understand the meaning of the liturgy and other services and sacraments, this will make them church people. But will he do it?

Firstly, having knowledge of the Law of God for a non-church person may not be useful to him. After all, just as it is unpleasant for any person if someone, not loving him, finds out something about him, so God is not pleased if someone finds out about Him with a cold heart. The basic truths of the faith must necessarily be preached to children, but this is not the same as teaching the Law of God. Theology should be comprehended, first of all, not with the mind (although this is desirable if possible), but with the heart. But heartfelt knowledge of God, spiritual experience is gained not so much in lessons, but - with the assistance of God's grace - in life in general: in the family, in the church community, in worship, in personal prayer, in communication with a confessor, and in lessons too.

Secondly, learning, as a rule, is impossible without some coercion, but when it comes to adult church people (for example, seminary students), you can say: “If you don’t want to study, leave.” In Sunday school, such an approach is unacceptable. Coercion in the teaching of religious disciplines can turn many students away from the Church.

Finally, the experience of the Sunday school that I head shows that it is not difficult for church-going young men and women to independently prepare for an exam on the Law of God, even if this discipline was poorly taught in the Sunday school (due to the lack of good teachers of the law). From 1994 to 1999, 13 graduates of our Sunday school entered various universities of the Moscow Patriarchate.

In light of the above, it seems even dangerous to demand that religious subjects be taught compulsorily in every Sunday school. Preferred, but not required. And, in any case, it is not necessary that they be its core.

What should be the core of Sunday school?

What God will send. The answer may seem frivolous, but let's remember that the main task of Sunday school is to bring children into the church. That is, we want children to integrate into the church community through it. To do this, the Sunday school itself must be an organic part of the parish community, and the leading teachers of the school must be its active members.

But the community is not gathered artificially, this is impossible. It is possible and sometimes necessary to invite a specialist, for example, a teacher of the Law of God. He may turn out to be a wonderful pious person, a high-class teacher, he may have a good relationship with the rector, parish staff and parishioners - and all this, however, is not enough for a person to become a member of the community. There is some kind of secret here. In any case, it is clear that the core of Sunday school can only be activities that can be carried out by people who are already part of the community.

Of course, with great organizational skill, you can “put together” an Orthodox-oriented educational institution with the teaching of the Law of God and any other subjects. But if it is not a living part of the church community, children will not become church members through it. It is natural for a good Sunday school to begin with one teacher - the rector, and then his spiritual children (as they appear) and people who are invited specifically to work in the Sunday school join in the work.

What are the most preferred core activities that can be identified?

Firstly, the children's choir. Figuratively speaking, its efficiency is much higher than that of other activities. To create a small children's choir, one rehearsal room and one Orthodox, child-loving professional choir director is enough. Of course, a choir made up of musically uneducated children will most likely not be able to perform at prestigious concerts. But through the choir, children are naturally drawn to the liturgy; The choir itself is a unifying activity, requires relatively little money and ensures the preparation and holding of holidays. If a children's choir sings during the liturgy, it is natural for the children to receive communion. Of course, you cannot give communion to children against their will or scold them for not wanting to take communion.

Secondly, let's talk about the participation of Sunday school students in worship. Older boys may serve at the altar. Of course, not all. Not everyone wants it, not everyone is capable of this, not every church has an altar that can accommodate everyone. In our church, altar servers, regardless of age, are required to exhibit reverent behavior during the service, strict obedience to elders, and participation in cleaning the altar.

There are Sunday schools, the core of which is the collection of materials about the new martyrs, social service, pilgrimages to holy places, teaching icon painting and various crafts. Such a core can, of course, be the teaching of the Law of God, if it works out.

Continuing the topic of students’ participation in worship, I would like to ask what, in your opinion, is the pedagogical potential of church rituals?

We all know, of course, that rituals do not save by themselves. What is important is what is inside a person, and external piety is valuable only insofar as it is a manifestation of internal piety. On the other hand, it is also known that the external influences the internal. When a person in simplicity, not proud that he is supposedly pleasing God, kisses an icon or lights a candle, or bows, then his soul adapts to the actions of the body, and then bodily actions acquire spiritual meaning and help the person tune in to prayer.

But in addition to this, church rituals also have educational potential. For example, by bowing before an icon and kissing it, a person learns that the icon is an object of worship and learns to honor the one depicted on it. When a child kisses the priest's blessing hand, he learns without explanation that the priest is a significant person. By introducing children to church rituals, you can unobtrusively but effectively help to root many Christian truths in their hearts and minds.

Let us note here that systematic reading to children of the Holy Scriptures (not the “Children’s Bible”!) and the lives of saints (not fairy tales on hagiographic themes!) has a very deep impact on children. The Word of God lies in the heart of a person like a seed, and if it is not rejected by an evil heart (the reaction of the mind is not so important), it will germinate and bear fruit. Outwardly, this may seem unnoticeable, but the significance for a person’s spiritual life will be much greater than any truths perceived only by the mind.

We often hear that one of the main problems of Sunday schools is the unchurch behavior of their students. What do you think is the problem here and what are the ways to solve it?

I think that the reason for such phenomena, common to many church schools, is not necessarily bad work teachers and poor home education. Although, of course, there are shortcomings, but even if we were saints and geniuses, the difficulties with the morality of teenagers in church school would not disappear. Why?

Firstly, modern children spend most of their time in a non-church environment. It must be taken into account that the impact of the surrounding corrupted world is profound and it largely determines the worldview and tastes of not only children who have recently come to school, but also those who have spent several years with us, and even children from church families.

Secondly (and this is the main thing), in addition to the tempting world and the evil spirits operating in it, there is also the mysterious providence of God for man (including each of our students), which does not always coincide with our good ones, at first glance. plans.

And thirdly, there is human freedom. He either freely accepts the good will of God for himself, or he willfully rejects it and lives as he is allowed to do.

Therefore, without abdicating responsibility for the spiritual destinies of children in our church schools, we must still come to terms with the fact that most teenagers in adolescence will upset church teachers with their behavior. And the question should be asked not how to completely avoid this, but how we should behave with our students, such as they are. Tolerating bad behavior from teenagers is our cross as parents. And parents according to the flesh, and parents according to school.

In a church school, to which children are not tied by anything external (for example, the opportunity to receive a good education in any subject for free), there will certainly be a large dropout of students. And a church school, which does not have a large dropout rate, will face the problem of unchurch behavior of church children. One could simply expel everyone who acts unworthy of the high title of a student at a church school. But this would mean depriving children of spiritual support precisely at the very time when they need it most.

Teenagers are not as bad as they may seem when you are confronted with their sometimes very unsightly behavior. Not everything, but much of their behavior is determined not by their will, but by age, which, as we know, passes, and by worldly temptations. Therefore, we do not hide the truth about spiritual life from the children, considering the reduction of moral requirements to be a dangerous deception, and we call evil evil, but we also do not expel them from Sunday school until the last possible moment.

If we want to help children outgrow their spiritually harmful hobbies, we must try, while remaining ourselves, to enter into such contact with them that they do not hide their views and their experiences from us. If we maintain only a high ascetic tone in our communication with children, then the majority of even believing children will find themselves beyond our influence.

But is it worth it for a priest to go to a disco in order to be with children there (such experiences are known)? I think not, otherwise children will perceive condescension towards their weakness as a blessing, and these are very different things. You can know about the disgraceful behavior of one of the guys and not focus on it for the time being, but when it is convenient and useful, show your real attitude. If the priest himself takes part in the ordinary pastime of modern children (even for a good purpose), then how can he guide them to the highest?

How to behave in specific situations? When should you tighten the screws, and when should you loosen up? When to sternly ask a boy or a girl, and maybe even the whole class, the question: “Either you change your behavior or leave,” and when to pretend that you didn’t notice even a very serious offense? May God help us in solving these problems.

A teacher can, at best, be alive and in agreement with the will of the Lord, His instrument, even a co-worker, but there is no method of salvation and cannot be. There are methods of teaching, methods of moral education, but there are no methods of salvation. From this, of course, it does not follow that there is no need to work with children, but it follows that you need to rely only on God, you need to pray to God for the children. The very work with children in Sunday school should be an outward manifestation of heartfelt prayer for them. Precisely heartfelt. There is little verbal and little mental prayer here. There must be a heartfelt desire turned to God for the teenager to take the true path of Christ, leading to eternal life. How strong is this desire in us and is it directed towards God? This question faces every parish priest and every church educator. Our children are in a difficult and dangerous situation. At the same time, they are mentally weak, and spiritually not fully determined. They need to literally beg for it.

O. Konstantin, please tell us about the experience of your Sunday school at the Assumption Church in Krasnogorsk

More than 200 children are currently attending the Sunday school at the Assumption Church in Krasnogorsk. It consists of two parts: an ordinary Sunday school, which is no different from most Sunday schools, where children come 1-2 times a week, and a church music school, whose students receive education in the same way as the choir department of a state children's music school.

The concept of our parish work with children can be briefly formulated as follows. The church community is a large, friendly family consisting of churchgoers. Children, being on the territory of the temple and communicating with them, gradually become one of them and become church people. At the same time, it almost doesn’t matter what subjects are in such a Sunday school. It is important to involve children in communication, and those who want to join the church will join the church.

We attracted a large number of children, getting them and their parents interested in free music education. I won’t go into details now, but will tell you what I see as vital and where our concept is insufficient and how we propose to resolve the problems that have arisen. To do this, I’ll tell you a little about how our parish and school life began and how it developed.

In 1991, when a Sunday school was born at the Assumption Church in Krasnogorsk, our church community was very small, 10-20 people. When we first went to Optina Pustyn in 1992, we all fit in a 25-seater bus, in 1993 45 people went, and since 1994 we no longer fit in one bus. There were many boys and girls in the community who communicated with each other quite decently, but with pleasure and interest, made friends, and fell in love. Many people tried to spend more time in and around the church and, if possible, went to church to work. There were warm emotional relationships, and people became quite serious about churching: they prayed, took communion, and tried to fight their passions.

It was in such an environment that our Sunday school developed at first. The children loved her very much. The school classrooms were located next to the rooms where the rector’s family lived, and there was also a church refectory nearby. In general, a big family. Sunday school was an organic part of it. Children, getting accustomed to Sunday school, naturally became accustomed to the church community and, of course, began to live liturgical life together with adults.

In the course of understanding the above, the concept of Sunday school was born as a kind of family into which children must be brought under any pretext, as long as they find themselves in a church environment. Spiritual communication with Orthodox people, feasible participation in church affairs, participation in divine services, communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ, of course, greatly contributed and continues to contribute to the churching of children.

The vitality of this concept has manifested itself in various aspects. Let me at least note that out of the several dozen children who went through our Sunday school, about twenty became altar servers and choristers, one was ordained, several people study at different universities of the Moscow Patriarchate.

To avoid creating too rosy an impression, I will say that several of our graduates, unfortunately, cooled off towards church life and stopped taking communion. As far as I can tell, the reason is that they were overwhelmed by carnal passions during adolescence. Some of them, we hope, will eventually return to the Church, but some, perhaps not. But it's not a matter of concept educational work, but in the tragedy of our earthly life, which is not a place of rest, but a field of spiritual battle.

Now about the insufficiency of the concept of churching under consideration. We began to feel it two years ago, and we are becoming more and more aware of it.

Firstly, the community has grown quantitatively. This in itself, of course, is good, but there are no friendly groups of a hundred people. And about the same number of brothers and sisters began to sit down festive table for Christmas or Easter.

Secondly, the youth, who mainly comprised the original community, got married and had children and multiplied them. Busy with household chores, people naturally began to spend less time in the temple, coming only to worship services.

Thirdly, if for the first three or four years I, as rector and chairman of the Parish Council, could hire almost everyone who wanted to work in the church, now the staff is full, and it is rare to hire new people. On the other hand, the needs of the temple forced and are forcing to hire employees of suitable qualifications, but not necessarily those of their own liking and spirit. Thus, the composition of the community began to coincide less and less with the composition of the employees. And if in the first years after the opening of the church, when children came to Sunday school, they came at the same time as if they were part of a large family, now this is no longer the case. I can’t say that it has become bad, unchurchish, but it has not become at all as comfortable as before.

Fourthly, noticeable changes have occurred in the students. In the first years of the existence of the Sunday school, children came or their parents brought them to it for the sake of joining the Church, and on top of this we also gave the children a musical education (in order to keep them from truancy), but now there is a significant number of children who were brought to our school just for the sake of free education. There is almost no live communication with the majority of parents; we almost never see them either in church or at school events, and the attitude of parents towards school and towards the Church, of course, affects the relationships of their children.

Our concept turned out to be viable if the community is small, consists of completely church people and there are warm friendly relations between its members. Then it doesn’t matter what you do with the children, as long as they come and enjoy it. We taught the children to sing, sight-read choral parts and play the piano, and along the way, as if by chance, they became involved in church life. Now we feel and see that we need to improve the concept of our long-existing school “on the fly.”

In this regard, how do you see the future of your school?

In the current situation, when the number of the parish community is about one hundred people, when its composition and structure do not coincide with the composition and structure of the parish staff, when the majority of community members are family people (there are not so few unmarried young people, but today they do not set the main tone in the community) and cannot spend much time in church (except for participation in services), when church services have become the thing that unites everyone, I think that Sunday school should not remain only, so to speak, a gateway through which children are drawn into church life, and she herself must live a full-fledged liturgical life.

We intend to complete the current academic year mainly according to the old curriculum, and from the next academic year we intend to introduce weekly participation of all school choirs in the liturgy (now they sing at services once a month), replace the subject “musical literature” with “history of liturgical singing" and reduce piano lessons to the minimum possible. We will try to maintain the level of singing and, if possible, increase it, but we will no longer hold on to compliance with the standard of a secular music school as before. This, of course, will not please all parents and not all students. Someone will leave us, but I think God will send someone in their place.

About the concept of the Sunday school “Life-Giving Source”

The Sunday school operating at the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God “Life-Giving Spring” in Tsaritsyno was organized with the blessing of the rector of the temple, Archpriest Georgy Breev, in October 1991. In the first period of the school’s existence, its activities were predominantly of a traditional nature. There were approximately 50 children studying at the school at that time. school age and 12 teachers worked. Adults did not study in Sunday school at that time.

Since September 1995, the Sunday school “Life-Giving Source” has become a kind of living laboratory for streamlining educational work and developing the concept of a family Sunday school.

The creative activity of the “Life-Giving Source” Sunday school began with an understanding of a number of typical pedagogical errors associated with religious education and catechesis. The attention of teachers was drawn to the fact that the spiritual knowledge taught at school was very quickly lost by children, and the process of churching, the need for which teachers constantly pointed out to children, was difficult and superficial. Often in adolescence children completely lost interest in visiting both school and church.

It was suggested that during religious education and catechesis, teachers cannot take the right position in relation to students: there is an unjustified identification of the functions of a teacher, educator and the functions of a priest, shepherd. The priest is endowed with the authority from God to preach the Gospel, interpret the Commandments of God, calling for Salvation. The task of teachers is not so much a call to Salvation as the formation of spiritual will, i.e. desire to be saved. To do this, in turn, it is necessary to reveal to students the essence of the Orthodox faith in such a way that they perceive it not as a set of requirements and prohibitions, but as a system of spiritual values ​​that fill life with meaning and content.

When the need for Salvation is simply declared or sounds like a call, then churching is artificially forced and carried out superficially. This instills in students not love for God and the Church, but either church magic, which is dangerous for the Orthodox faith, or a feeling of the need to fulfill an obligatory religious duty. It is obvious that in both cases the foundations of a person’s personal freedom are undermined, therefore, in adolescence, many boys and girls begin to openly resist such calls and demands.

The second significant mistake made during catechesis is that teachers often unwittingly distort the evangelical spirit of the spiritual disciplines taught. The Savior’s statement that the world lies in evil as a result of human sins is often presented to students in such a way that it leads them not to the conclusion about the need to transform themselves and the world around them, but to a timid and cowardly desire to hide from the problems of this world in the Church. In this regard, Salvation itself is interpreted as the need to run and hide behind the walls of the temple from temptations and temptations, and not as the need for a spiritual feat to overcome one’s weakness with the help of God, through active Christian love towards one’s neighbors. In this regard, it becomes obvious that the activities of a Sunday school cannot be structured in such a way that it resembles some kind of spiritual greenhouse, which only helps to protect and shelter students from the evil world around them. The school should educate and strengthen in a person faith in the good providence of God and the readiness to fulfill the holy duty of a warrior of Christ, establishing peace, goodness and love wherever the Lord sends him.

The third mistake in the activities of Sunday schools is associated with the separation of the spiritual education of children from the natural conditions of their upbringing and development in the family, as well as the desire to abstract from the painful problems that children and adolescents face in families at the present stage of the country’s life. The desire to “soar” above the real pressing problems of the family, to show an idealized picture of human life, the lack of willingness to delve into the complex and sometimes tragic circumstances of the lives of children in the family, turns Orthodoxy into a “dream of beauty”, deprives students of a sober and humble attitude towards objective difficulties life. As a result of this position, teachers do not strengthen, but, on the contrary, unwittingly weaken the spiritual strength of their students, forming unjustified expectations that life in the family can change by itself. Moreover, by painting a rosy picture of the life of a believer, which does not coincide with the harsh reality, teachers warmly win over children for whom life in families is especially difficult. The illusion of being able to replace the mother and father of an unhappy child may not last long, but it turns out to be extremely harmful for both the parents, the child, and the teacher himself. The family way of life is a very stable and lasting psychological formation. Its influence on the child’s soul and the spiritual potential of his personality development is very great, so the naive assumption about quickly overcoming negative stereotypes of consciousness is hardly justified. Teachers should not forcibly invade the life of a family through the consciousness of children; their task is to actively help parents raise their own children in a Christian way, delving into their problems, spiritually enlightening them and suggesting useful pedagogical techniques.

The fourth source of problems for Sunday schools is associated with underestimating the danger of neophyte enthusiasm and ignoring the achievements of pedagogical and psychological science. The declarative, emotionally exalted manner of presenting spiritual knowledge, associated with the attitude of immediately, without delay, “go to church,” dilutes the deep spiritual content of teaching and does not give students the opportunity to think through and feel the Word of God. Intrusive and pretentious emotionality tires listeners and makes the teacher’s speech artificial.

From the above it follows that for the effective operation of a Sunday school, it is necessary to develop a special concept that would take into account the difficulties and shortcomings noted above. This concept should reflect: the main goals and objectives of spiritual education and catechesis, the basic methodological approach to organizing religious education and upbringing, organizational and pedagogical methods and methods of working with students, and expected results of work.

First of all, it is necessary to isolate the specific function that Sunday school performs, which is entry level religious education. It should be borne in mind that a significant part of Sunday school students are still at a crossroads, still striving to gain Orthodox faith, hoping that Sunday school teachers will help them with this. The student brings worldly experience into his consciousness Everyday life, which occurs in the family, and in current conditions is often already destroyed or on the verge of destruction. Problems, conflicts, contradictions, grievances and disappointments - this is the background on which to build the teaching of spiritual disciplines. In the lessons of the Law of God and the Catechism, the student gradually becomes familiar with the peculiarities of church life in the Christian community, entry into which requires the assimilation of fundamentally different relationships: patience, humility, meekness, faith, hope and love. The sermon about Salvation, perceived at first only by the mind, must still be rationally comprehended and enriched by personal religious and mystical experiences, as well as practical experience of Christian work to transform one’s life. family life. Thus, Sunday school has its own specific goals and objectives, performing the function of a kind of “transition bridge” connecting secular and church life. This transition cannot be accomplished in one leap and requires some effort and time. On the one hand, Sunday school should help a person spiritually comprehend the existing experience of life in the world, on the other hand, it should show him the true Source of sanctification and transformation of this life - the Savior Christ - and make Him a spiritually close and desirable Image. We can say that the main goal of Sunday school is to form the will for Salvation in a modern person living in conditions of a disintegrating family.

The relationship between the church and the world, mediated by the activities of the Sunday school, must correspond to the gospel spirit of the redemptive mission of Christ the Savior, who did not reject the world, but accepted voluntary death on the cross for it, defeating the malice of this world with divine sacrificial Love. The Crucifixion of Christ is the appeal and call of humanity to the feat of fullness of life in God and with God, the feat of unceasing service to others. Guided by these considerations, you understand that the basis for the creation of a Sunday school that educates genuine Orthodox Christians should be based on the idea of ​​spiritual achievement and self-sacrifice, which must be revealed through examples that are understandable to modern man. Thus, there will be a necessary deepening of the concept of “churching” and a transition to its true meaning, based on the acceptance of the Cross of the Lord.

The above shows that organizing a Sunday school presupposes the creation of a special spiritual and cultural environment, i.e. an atmosphere that fosters understanding and thirst for Christian achievement. The desired spiritual environment is formed by the appropriate orientation of the sermons of the priests and the conduct of thematic classes by teachers. In order for lessons on spiritual disciplines to reveal the deep meaning of churching, Sunday school teachers must have personal spiritual experience in overcoming various life difficulties and trials. According to the Russian Orthodox philosopher I.A. Ilyin, “Christ must not be preached, but confessed.”

Understanding that Sunday school students, first of all, need spiritual understanding and a Christian arrangement of living conditions in the family, it is advisable to accept not only children, but also their parents for training in Sunday school. Teaching spiritual disciplines to parents should contain not only the disclosure of the dogmas of the Orthodox Church, the Commandments of God and the spiritual laws of the universe, but also examples of the manifestation of divine truths in the practical life of people. Particular attention should be paid to cases from everyday life related to family relationships and raising children. In this case, parents have the opportunity to discover powerful spiritual potential. Orthodox family and a joyful feeling of spiritual belonging of family members to each other.

But in order for people to have the opportunity to gain practical experience of family life built on Christian principles, Sunday school must help them organize new types of communication and interaction with each other. Therefore, at Sunday school, not only spiritual and educational, but also spiritual and practical activities should unfold in a number of areas, actually connecting people and restoring their previously destroyed relationships. Priority areas should include those that make it possible to recreate joint prayer and liturgical communication, common family leisure (clubs and creative studios), common experience of holidays, joint excursion and pilgrimage trips, general home reading, visiting literary, poetic and musical evenings, joint work, etc. A significant factor in the regulation and normalization of family relationships can be the help of an Orthodox psychologist-consultant who provides accessible charitable reception.

In general, the structure of the educational process organized in a family Sunday school can be represented in the form of three concentric circles: the central link is the liturgical communication of parents and children, joint participation in the Church Sacraments; the middle link is their parallel spiritual enlightenment (catechesis); and the external link is practical communication and interaction, organized on Christian principles in a number of vital areas.

Thanks to the family orientation of the Life-Giving Spring Sunday School, the number of students in it (children and adults) reached 450 people over the four years of operation. The school employs more than 40 teachers, among whom 15 are heads of clubs and creative studios, which not only children, but also their parents have the opportunity to attend. Every month, Sunday school students have the opportunity to make 2-3 family excursion and pilgrimage trips to Moscow monasteries and holy places in the Moscow region. During the year, the Sunday school organizes 5 school-wide holidays, among which the family holiday “Father's House” is very popular.

Spiritual disciplines are taught in Sunday school by experienced teachers, most of whom have spiritual education received at the St. Tikhon's Theological Institute or at catechetical courses of the Department of Religious Education and Catechesis of the Moscow Patriarchate. During the school year, 6-7 times all Sunday school students attend divine services and participate together in church Sacraments.

The above convinces us of the advisability of further developing the concept of a family Sunday school and exchanging experience in organizing its work.

I.N. Moshkova- Sunday school director

Candidate of Psychological Sciences

The first opinion says that, supposedly, on any Orthodox holidays, occultists “lock themselves up,” that is, they lose the ability to cast spells, engage in clairvoyance, or otherwise manifest their paranormal activities. This point of view is based on the cognitive model. A kind of “pseudo-Orthodox monism” - when they believe that God is against any magic, no matter what it consists of. At the same time, it is not so important what exactly is called “magic”. “Foreign gods are demons,” Apostle Paul. Consequently, any occultists lose the ability to turn to their gods and their rituals during Orthodox holidays in Russia, Greece, etc.
The second point of view claims that church and religious holidays do not have any influence on magic. Moreover, these things are in no way connected with each other.
And the third statement says that during especially major church holidays, the witchcraft abilities of adherents can intensify.

Where is the truth? Let's try to figure it out. To find the grain of truth, let's look at these three statements in more detail. The first point of view warms the hearts of people who believe that “beyond the threshold of the church there are only demons,” which the Lord naturally influences with his will, but does not withstand the slightest critical analysis.

So, despite the fact that Orthodox Christianity is not widespread in Japan, it is still possible to imagine, say, a shugeja - an adept of shugendo who knows at least something about the great days of the Christian cult. But it’s difficult to imagine Indian tantriks resurrecting corpses with an eye on Orthodox Christmas and Easter, or followers of Vamachara and Abhichara checking their actions with the Orthodox calendar.
At the same time, no one doubts the strength of the followers of the Indian branch of Tantric Buddhism in any day and month of the year. There is a fairly popular saying in India: “If God is angry with you, then a tantrik will save you. But if a tantrik is angry with you, then no god will save you!” It would not be out of place to add that the very name of Jesus Christ often says nothing to both the first and the second. The imagination also fails when trying to imagine an Ifa clergyman somewhere in the region of Nigeria who cannot make a man’s volt for Orthodox Easter.

As practice shows, it is Orthodox holidays and sacraments that influence only baptized sorcerers and magicians. (Despite the fact that we baptize very young children without asking their consent, which within the purely Japanese, for example, spiritual tradition is considered black magic, essentially damage; this is about the question of the relativity of the concepts of good and evil in different cultures). No Orthodox calendar of holidays has the slightest influence on unbaptized adepts and practitioners of magic. Moreover, there are cases when the baptismal ceremony was performed incorrectly, that is, not completely according to the canon of the church.
And if, in the future, such a “baptized” person becomes a sorcerer, then his baptism may be, as it were, “fake” for higher powers and spirits. Such a person will be able to cast magic on the most important church holidays without any interference or harm to himself and loved ones.
As we see, both first opinions - that on Orthodox holidays all magic disappears from the world, and that church holidays and dates do not have any influence on arbitrary witches and sorcerers - turn out to be equally inaccurate. What about a third opinion?

Russian People's Black Book

To people far from the world of magic, the very statement about the possibility of increasing harmful, dark magical influences precisely during church holidays, as well as the postulate about the possibility of imposing damage or a curse by a dark practitioner in the church itself, may seem at least extremely strange. And at the most - shocking.
Extremely common among people not only churchgoers and believers, but also those who are extremely far from Orthodoxy is the point of view that “a sorcerer cannot enter a church.” And even devilry cannot enter the church. The power of the Holy Spirit will not allow dark spirits into the church building. This postulate is almost universally accepted, paradoxically, not thanks to the fiery sermons of the clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church from the pulpit, but due to the fact that the story by N.V. Here in the former Soviet Union, Gogol’s “Viy” was read not only by Orthodox Christians, but also by Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Buddhists, and Jews. It is included in the mandatory school curriculum on literature. And in this story there is a very vivid and imaginative episode where various evil spirits freeze in front of the threshold of the church, unable to cross it, until the moment they bring Viy. But “Viy” is a work of genius, but it is artistic, and as another great genius, Stanislav Jerzy Lec, used to say, “In life everything is not as it really is.”

Let's try to figure it out. There is such an extremely harmful and extremely dark witchcraft tradition in Rus', called Russian Folk Warlock. Little is known about it reliably, but de facto the ideological basis of this witchcraft movement is nothing more than a type of extremely extremist Satanism, nurtured not on Western, but on Russian soil and directed exclusively against Orthodox Christianity. Although, de jure, warlocks do not call themselves “Satanists”. The exact historical roots and circumstances of the origin of this tradition are lost in the darkness of centuries. But due to the fact that, according to some data, warlocks worship the fallen angel Satanael (or Satanael in another transcription), this is how, very characteristically, calling him, it would be most logical to assume Bogumil roots.
The peculiarity of Russian folk witchcraft is that its adherents and followers prefer to inflict damage, quarrels, curses, challenges and other extremely negative influences and things on major church holidays. They learned to collect, transform into something else and use not just anything, but powerful energy Orthodox prayers, generated by believers during these periods, so to speak, “to the left” in every sense of the word. Warlocks also carry out a number of their damages in the church, during services. But, by the way, this is not typical of only Russian warlocks: “white magicians” can also put a photograph of a person on the altar in order to determine the presence of damage on a person by bribing the servant.
As we see, the opinion that on church holidays and fasts magic may not weaken or disappear, but, on the contrary, intensify, also has the right to exist, but only within the framework of one, separate magical tradition - the Russian People's Black Book, and at all not for all".

Finally

From here it is obvious that all three opinions - and the fact that witches and sorcerers can be “locked up” (but not all!) with the loss of abilities; and the fact that church holidays may not have any influence on magicians (but only on those who are not baptized and not associated with Christian culture!); and the fact that the blackest magic can be performed, and successfully, just on major church holidays (but only in one, separate tradition!) - in some way, privately, is right, and all three, again, in particulars and details are wrong.

The article is aimed at revealing the special meaning of many church rituals and sacred rites from the point of view of magic (the science of Magic) and is not anti-religious in nature, but only informs about the true mechanisms of what is happening in churches.

3. Confirmation.
When anointing is done, a person receives the “gifts of the Holy Spirit.” Otherwise, these gifts are called “seals of the gift of the Holy Spirit.” These seals are placed in a cross pattern on the forehead, eyes, nostrils, mouth, ears, chest, arms and legs.
This closes 2, 3 and 4 energy centers, responsible for the integrity of the will, clairvoyance, creativity and human feelings), the organs of information perception also overlap.
Myrrh, by the way, is also used to anoint the dead.
“In the consecration of oil, just as in the anointing, I see methods of crude witchcraft, as in the veneration of icons and relics, as in all those rituals, prayers, spells with which the missal is filled. In communion I see the deification of the flesh and a perversion of Christian teaching. In the priesthood, in addition to obvious preparation for deception, I see a direct violation of the words of Christ, which directly prohibits calling anyone teachers, fathers, mentors (Matthew XXIII, 8-10).” L.N. Tolstoy, from a letter of April 4, 1901.

4. Tonsuring.
Small strands are cut crosswise on the back of the head, near the forehead, on the right and left sides of the head. Then the hair is rolled up in a piece of wax and thrown into the font.
In magic this is called envolting to death!
With the help of this ritual, a person becomes completely attached to the Christian egregor, and at the same time to the egregor of magic.

5. Churching.
The priest reads the prayer: “Now, O Master, you release Your servant in peace, according to Your word: for my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared before the face of all people, a light for the revelation of tongues, and the glory of Your people Israel” - everything is clear, comments are unnecessary.
In its early stages, the rite of baptism had no biblical basis.
Adolf Harnack, a famous theologian, writes about this:
“It is impossible to directly prove that Jesus instituted baptism, since the words quoted by Matthew (28:19) are not the saying of God.”
It is also interesting to note that baptism is carried out in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, which was not in any of the early manuscripts.
Adolf Harnack points out that “this trinitarian formula is alien to the mouth of Jesus and did not have the authority in the apostolic era that it should have had if it had come from Jesus himself.”
Another point is the inconstancy of the sacrament of baptism in general Christian theology.
Baptism, as it is now understood, means that the Holy Spirit, the third member of the Trinity, enters a person and takes away his sins. If we accept this, then it is not clear how, at a later stage in the life of the same person, Satan drives the Holy Spirit out of him and leads the person into sin through temptation.
The question arises: can the devil tempt a person filled and guarded by the Holy Spirit?
Thus, it is quite clear that baptism is not based at all on the teachings of Jesus.
And let's listen to what eniologists say about the rite of baptism.
Anastasia NATALICH, eniocorrector at the Research Center “ENIO”:
“It is believed that a baptized child is protected by divine power, while an unbaptized one is more vulnerable. The natural desire of parents - to protect their child from all sorts of harm - obliges them to follow traditions. Everyone does it, so it’s “right.”

Suddenly something happens, the thought immediately arises: “Maybe because I’m not baptized, and therefore not protected?” You need to understand that the best protection for a child is the parents. This is how nature works.
Conflicts, misunderstandings, and troubles between father and mother are reflected in the child.
As for the ritual, firstly, to carry it out at an unconscious age is a violation of a person’s will.
Christ was baptized at the age of 33. A person must decide for himself whether he needs it or not.
Secondly, the rite of baptism involves water - a universal information carrier that ideally preserves and structures information. What information does church water carry is another question...
It is not uncommon for a person to be given a middle name at baptism. During correction, eniologists, as a rule, see exactly the child’s middle name.
Another parallel channel opens in a person, giving a serious energy load to fate. The same burden arises if a person is named after someone else.
If a child has two names, he begins to live with two streamers, and the passage of fate is somewhat more complicated.”
Any ritual introduces a person into an altered state of awareness. Hypnosis, meditation, breathing exercises, contemplation, defocusing attention, prayer, etc. have the same effects.
But in an altered state of consciousness, a person cannot fully analyze what is happening and there is a very high probability of an alien influence on his consciousness, in other words - zombification.

6. Wedding.
A wedding is a ritual of a voluntary love spell - although almost all those being married have no idea about it. Wedding rings carry a symbol of the energy of the partner, strengthened by the will and energy of the Egregor of the Church and influencing the human biofield as a constant synchronizer of the energies of two people, uniting them and binding them for life. This ritual is enhanced by the newlyweds exchanging rings three times. In the classics, the groom is given a gold ring and the bride a silver one. This strengthens the wife's subordination to her husband. Although this tradition is becoming less and less known. Since ancient times, a long train of a wedding dress has been recommended for a bride - there is a sign that the longer it is, the longer the young people live. But from an esoteric point of view, a long train is the grounding of the bride and binding to the element of earth. Dressing (symbolically holding over the head) crowns (wreaths) strengthens the influence of the Church (its Egregor) on those being crowned, securing a love spell on behalf of the Church and its Power. Energies are cut off along the Sahasrara chakra and a block is imposed by the Egregor of the church. At the same time, energy is also selected into the Egregor of the Church - actually reducing the lifespan of the married couple. It is to this same consolidation of the union that the Church is called upon to circumambulate the lectern three times. A sort of magical closure of the ritual circle.

7. Confession.
“In the periodic forgiveness of sins in confession, I see a harmful deception, which only encourages immorality and destroys the fear of sin.” From a letter from L.N. Tolstoy April 4, 1901
Confession is a psychotherapeutic option for relieving a person of his negative attitude towards his actions. The Church, through the priest, “forgives” sins before God, “cleansing” a person’s baggage. This is carried out through a prayer of absolution, a ritual of cleansing from Magic, while building a connection with the Supreme, God, before whom purification takes place, but without the energy component of the ritual, without burning negativity and working with the past, modeling the present and future. This is a ritual in a truncated form, adapted to the modern canonical activities of the Church. But this is a ritual.
It will not be a secret that magic and the church have common features. The main task of both sides is the spiritual growth of the public. There are more than enough similarities between the church and magic. Take at least the representatives of both. Church ministers, just like shamans, sorcerers and healers, are trying to achieve communication with a higher power than themselves; they also create vibrations, which they teach to subsequent generations.

Rituals will not be an exception, because during magical rituals a spell is recited, which in essence is very similar to church prayer. That is, a person turns to something higher. A true representative of the church, like a true magician, has only one goal - they must help people and maintain universal harmony.

You can find it in various sources different interpretation the words "magic". You and I need to understand this concept and then everything will fall into place and it will be clear why we combined two things - magic and Christianity - that were always considered incompatible.
So, what do people used to call magic? We call magic what we cannot explain scientifically. Let's look at a simple example: casting treatment.
During this procedure, the healer changes his energy state by reading special prayers. He turns to the Supreme Consciousness, to the Supreme Mind and asks for help. So that through his hands God would help heal the sick. When contact with the Higher powers is established, they transmit several specific streams of energy that protect the magician and heal the person. All this, of course, happens if the healer is competent and conscientious. It turns out that nothing supernatural happened - the magician, as a guide, helped you get the necessary energy. You could, of course, just pray (this is not prohibited by the church), but the result would have to wait, and you would have to pray more than once or twice. (I know a case when one mother prayed every day for her drinking son. After 15 (fifteen) years, he stopped drinking. Yes, it’s possible, there won’t be a sin in it, maybe. And maybe there will be. After all, if you all these 15 years of swearing and lamenting about the same drinking, then fate will punish you for incontinence.) You don’t have to turn to magicians, then you yourself need to influence the situation deeper than just prayers.
Can you meekly endure everything and continue to pray? Then go ahead! You will definitely achieve results with strong and persistent faith.
The healer, unfortunately or fortunately, does not have an extra 15 years, and there are a lot of people asking for help, so there are rituals that help speed up the result and bring the desired goal closer. This is the same as medical treatment: they not only give you pills, but also prescribe injections - intramuscular, intravenous, they treat you with electric shock, with ultrasound. And we are already accustomed to this. Because scientists explained that tablets act this way, and injections act differently, and ultrasound has such and such capabilities. All this is called complex treatment. It’s the same with the sorcerer!

Have you ever seen an ultrasound? Did you hold it in your hands? Of course, you see the tablet and know what it is made of, what it will treat, although you can hardly imagine the processes that will occur in your body as a result of chemical reactions. Now try to understand how ultrasound works and you will understand how energy flow works. The same! Nothing supernatural!
Let us look at Christianity from the point of view of magic. This religion, in its essence, fully meets the requirements of Nature. Without revealing the secrets of nature, Christianity sets its followers up for the harmonious development of the soul, body, and relationships with the outside world: the commandments are aimed at spiritual development and harmonious interaction with others, fasting is aimed at cleansing the physical body.
There is nothing in religion that harms human nature. Any religion preaches fasting at certain times of the year; this is good for a person. From a physical point of view, the human body sometimes needs to unload.
In Christianity, there is the sign of the cross, which is imposed on the Orthodox. It is believed that it protects against external and internal evil spirits. Yes it is. But, from an energetic point of view, the sign of the cross regulates the biofield, restores it, and after it, after the correct distribution of energy, health is restored. But the fact is that it has long been known about the existence of meridians running along the physical and energy body. Meridians permeate the body and pass through the fingers. It is by closing certain meridians and mixing the action of individual flows that we obtain a certain energy state by touching ourselves with fingers folded in a special way.
In India, folding hands is called mudra. And these mudras heal people! We can get the same thing. During the application of the cross, there is a uniform distribution of energy. And what is it? This is the law of the Universe. This is a natural process. And isn't this the Magic of Nature? A person regularly performs passes on himself (in in this case meaning the sign of the cross) and is healed! This is a miracle!

It turns out that magic has answers to all questions. Magic is a phenomenon of nature, the universe. These are processes occurring in living and inanimate objects. We are just used to calling magic what scientists have not yet been able to sort out. We call everything that the Church calls this word Magic.
To finally dot the i's, let's take examples from the Bible - holier than a book No.
The birth of Jesus Christ was predicted by the stars. Those. I already had some knowledge of astrology and it was not considered a sin to use it.
Moreover, as we all know from the Bible, the stars were also created by God. So they influence us according to God’s understanding. No one denies that our Sun has different activities that influence us. Everyone knows that loud events always happen during eclipses. Children born on the day of an eclipse differ in character and destiny from those born at the same time but in a different year. Other planets have the same effect. Again, not without God’s knowledge, because... It is said: “Thy will is both in heaven and on earth.”
Further, the Bible writes about the miraculous properties of water: “Everything that has been touched by something unclean, put it in water until evening and it will be clean again.” And we are not talking about natural, tangible dirt here. Then what? This means that the Bible still recognizes the presence of fluids and energy. And water really washes away not only dirt, but also foreign and negative vibrations. These are the properties of water. This is recognized in the Bible and it is not denied by magicians, but moreover, it is always used for the benefit of man.

The Church and magic go hand in hand as often as they often go apart. Magic itself is neutral. It is a collection of secret knowledge and techniques for its application. A person always has the right to choose. This right was given to him from above. He must decide for himself to use the help of magic in difficult times, or to act on his own. Magic can bring both good and evil, it all depends on the person who uses it. Magic is magic, it is a way to achieve harmony and happiness with the help of external forces. We also go to church to ask for a miracle, we wait for magic. Isn’t it a miracle that the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles and they spoke in all the languages ​​of the world? Isn’t it a miracle that seriously ill people were cured from one of their touches in the name of God? Often priests are the main opponents of magic and extrasensory perception. But why? Is it not from God that psychics receive this gift - to heal people? Is it a sin to help others? The Church opposes magic only because it is often used for selfish purposes, to the detriment of others. When, with the help of magic, a person wants to deprive another person of their will, it affects his psyche and feelings, sending damage and curses. If a person uses magic for good purposes, to heal people, remove negativity, etc., then I think he does not commit a sin. If the priest claims that any psychic will be rejected by the church, I don’t believe it. I believe that God judges people by their deeds, and if a person helped people get rid of illness, then how can the church reject him? It is important what is in a person’s soul, whether he is a psychic, a magician or a simple person. In one of the Gospels banned by the church, the following words are said: “The Kingdom of God is within you, and all around you! Not in buildings made of stone and wood...” Therefore, it is important what is inside the psychic, the priest, and whether he performs his actions in the name of God or...
“About Christ, who drove the bulls, sheep and sellers out of the temple, they should have said that he was blasphemous. If he had come now and seen what was being done in his name in the church, then with even greater and more legitimate anger he would probably have thrown out all these terrible antimensions, and spears, and crosses, and bowls, and candles, and icons, and all that , whereby they, through sorcery, hide God and his teachings from people.” L.N. Tolstoy, from a letter of April 4, 1901.

A church love spell can be a good way out if you are tormented by unrequited love. Higher powers will not allow you to make a mistake; love spells with the help of the church are considered one of the most powerful and relatively safe.

Church love spell - what is it?

Every person who is interested in magic knows about the confrontation between sorcerers and the church. However, magicians often use church egregor for your own purposes. It’s not for nothing that our ancestors knew how to recognize a witch in a church and stop her from doing evil. Within the walls of the temple, you can perform both good and evil deeds, directing the powerful energy of this place to the purpose of the ritual.

Church magic is a very special section of witchcraft. Many rituals use Orthodox attributes. These are icons, crosses, holy water and candles blessed in the church. Many rituals are performed only on church holidays. Even the tradition of making wishes at Christmas can be attributed to the ritual of church magic. In such conspiracies they turn to saints. However, rituals from Voodoo or Santeria magic may not correlate with the Christian egregor at all.

Most church rituals are accessible to the general public. They are considered quite powerful, because your intention will be strengthened by faith in God's help and the strong energy of the temple. Magicians who perform rituals in... are guided by similar considerations.

If you are interested in church magic, you can try out numerous protective spells and healing prayers. The temple deals not only with white magic, which is aimed at good. Its energy can also be directed at causing damage or creating a love spell. Almost everyone knows that you cannot light candles for the repose of the living. This is the easiest way to damage death using church magic. Many rituals of black sorcerers combine not only temple attributes, but also objects from cemeteries.

Love spells in church are a separate matter. The so-called rarely cause harm. As a rule, they are prayers that are supposed to be read in church or at home. If higher powers consider your desire to connect your life with a certain person or returning the children's father to the family is wrong, the white love spell will not come true. In order for it to work, you need to sincerely love the person and not be guided by selfish goals. This magic works great if the husband was taken away by a rival, both spouses made a mistake, or circumstances turned out to be stronger than feelings. Sometimes it works as a chill on oneself, which frees the unrequited lover from unhappy love.

All other types of love spells belong to black magic. These are powerful rituals that direct the energy of the temple and the people praying there to create feelings for the initiator of the love spell. They must be used with caution; the consequences can be dangerous. Such negativity is also removed in the church. It is believed that for a magician who has received a backlash from such a ritual, the road to the temple will be closed. However, there is another fact - any soul can be saved. If you have suffered from your own black rite, you will have to sincerely repent of what you have done and take the right path.

Church magic - rules and signs of higher powers

As mentioned above, higher powers may not allow your love spell to come true. But sometimes they just send signs that serve as warnings about dire consequences love spell There are church signs that are observed by all magicians who practice magic on the territory of the temple.

Most often, a love spell through a church is done using candles. If during the ritual one of the candles breaks, it urgently needs to be stopped at least this time. God will protect the object of love spell, and all the consequences of black witchcraft will overtake you. If the candles go out, you are threatened with serious illnesses, they will be retribution for practicing black magic.

If the candles you are trying to fasten or connect come apart and do not stay together in any way, your witchcraft cannot cope with the protection that the object of the love spell has. Perhaps it, too, was created in the temple, like a love spell, which will not work. Even if after the ceremony the candles are separated, this indicates that you wasted your energy.

As with all powerful rituals, time should be taken to prepare. The most important rule temple witchcraft is fasting and abstinence. The longer you fast, the stronger the effect of witchcraft. Usually this is one, three, nine or forty days. The most powerful love spell in the church is the one made by a virgin or virgin. In general, this applies to any goal in achieving which the help of a Christian egregor is planned.

The more often the target is in church and the stronger his faith in God, the better the spell will work. If everything was done correctly, with each visit to church or interaction with Christian objects of worship, witchcraft will intensify. This magic is designed for Christians, baptized and believers. If the object of your passion has nothing to do with your faith or is not baptized, it may not work at all.

How to cast a love spell on church candles

In order to perform a ritual using a Christian egregor, it is not necessary to go to church. A love spell on church candles can also work well, although in order to purchase them, you still have to look into the church shop. You will need two candles, you also need blessed water, a mirror and a red ribbon or thread made of natural material. The ceremony is performed on the waxing moon.

The candles must be connected with tape or thread so that they do not separate. After this, they are dipped in holy water so that the wicks remain dry. The container with water should be in front of the mirror. Then the candles need to be taken out of their water and placed in front of the mirror. Light the candles with one match and read:

Lord God, turn the servant of God (name) in my direction, let him love me, his passion will be hotter than fire, clearer than water and deeper than a mirror. As the fire goes out, he will remember me and come. Amen.

The candles must burn out completely. It is often recommended to read this plot until they burn out. You can do it this way; thin church candles burn for only a few minutes. This love spell on two church candles refers to white ones, since the text of the conspiracy contains an appeal to the Lord, who will decide whether it is worth uniting the destinies of two people in a particular case. That is, this love spell on church candles may well not work.

How to make a strong love spell through a church

In order for a love spell through a church to work, you need to find a suitable temple. This ritual is often called a love spell on a church gate - it is while standing there that you need to read the spell. You will have to look for a temple that will have a gate through which parishioners pass. Keep track of how often they are locked. The gate should look like an arch; a rounded shape at the top is a must.

It is advisable that the chosen temple be located on a hill or hill. Another circumstance that can play into your favor is the age of the building. The older the church, the better.

If you manage to find such a temple, on a full moon you need to get up at dawn and, without breakfast, go to it. You have to walk, but if it takes more than two hours, you can travel part of the way by any transport. If the temple is nearby, you are in luck. But if you are several tens of kilometers away from it, you will have to get off several stops earlier and walk for two or three hours. You can only drive the first half of the way; you need to get to the church on foot.

Make sure that there are no people near the temple who might interfere or, even worse, approach you with questions. Churches in villages are often deserted on weekdays. If the church itself is closed, it's okay - you only need the gate. Stand under their arches with your back to the temple, raise your hands up and read three times from memory:

The Gate is Strong! The Gate is Steadfast! I conjure you with the Immortal Spirit! You will connect our destinies with (name), unite our pure hearts forever! So that we live together all our lives until old age, so that we love each other until last day! The Royal Gates! Gate of Heaven! I entrust my fate to you! My hope is in you, my last hope!

After the last reading, you should wait for the feeling of goosebumps and some shaking. If no sensations follow, you need to take a break and try again. Wander around the church yard for about half an hour, tune in to the ceremony, and relax. Perhaps you're just tired of getting to your destination. You can only try again once.

After you have decided that the ritual worked or, on the contrary, you did not get the desired sensations, you should go home. This time you need to walk the first half if it is impossible to walk the whole way. Only after you have walked for about two hours can you get on the transport.

On the next full moon, you can try to perform the ritual again if you were unable to feel its effect the last time. This time you can try again twice. The second full moon is your last chance; you cannot repeat the trip to the temple gates a third time.

Church love spell - consequences for the victim of witchcraft

Each magical effect has its own characteristics, and this is no exception. , which is performed in the temple, usually differ when compared with other rituals. The main sign that a love spell or damage has been cast on you with the help of a Christian egregora- this is a sharp change in well-being in churches. A harsh and powerful influence affecting free will is expressed in its deterioration.
