First of all you buy a yard of red cotton cloth (new) and six red apples. Then you go to a royal palm tree at friday at noon. (If there are no palm trees in your area, you may use a cedar or pine tree.) First you take the red cloth and pass it all over your body and then place it at the foot of the tree. Then you take the six red apples and do the same, passing them all over your body, one by one, and then leaving them on top of the red cloth. Of course, all the time you are doing this you are asking Chango to take away all negativity and evil that may have been sent to you. When you finish, you may light a red candle in front of the offering, if you desire. Be careful not to set the woods on fire. Remember that Chango is FIRE!
