��TEPECANO PRAYERS

��129

��NOTE

This prayer is spoken after the invalid is convalescing from the sickness caused by the chanes and is intended to cause them to depart from the vicinity. It is recited to the west, whither they flee.

TRANSLATION

Farewell! Chanes. Ye shall take your- selves beneath your lucid carpet. Ye must not sicken my family, or I will tell him who is my Protector, my Morning Star and my Lord so that he may sicken you. Then do not afterwards weep if he shall have sickened you. So be it; I beg your forgiveness. You must take yourselves within your crystal water-gourd. For if ye follow to persecute me, I will sicken you with the seven forms in which ye were created. Therefore do I beg your forgiveness.

So be it. Know it and hear ye me! Ye shall take yourselves within your cloud where ye belong. May God bless you.
