They've been selected to be no muss, no fuss, and inexpensive; give them a try! CALLING UPON THE SACREA OF LIGHT You will need: glass marbles Wash the marbles thoroughly in clear water, then hold them up to the sunlight. Just carrying them around will gather the Sacrea of Light that governs proactivity and the will to act. For when you want the Sacrea of Light to give you confidence, or when you want to take bold action. Glass marbles have the power to capture the Sacrea of Light. However, the effect of walking around with them lasts only one day. Repeat this charm daily to charge the Sacrea's power. The marbles are more effective if they are brand-new; avoid using old, worn-out ones if possible. CALLING UPON THE SACREA OF DARKNESS You will need: Something you carry around with you every day Put something with which you walk around every day - your wallet; your commuter pass - and put it beneath your pillow. Lie down and count to 10. Once you are finished, count the other way, from 10 to 1. Then, just use the item as usual, and your Sacrea of Darkness will be boosted. The Sacrea of Darkness has the effect of instilling peace, so it's effective when you're stressed out or want to relax. An item you carry around with you from day to day is infused with your power. Try sleeping with this item under your pillow to infuse it with the Sacrea of Darkness. Repeat this every day during periods of time when you feel really tired out. CALLING UPON THE SACREA OF WIND You will need: three kamifusen paper balloons and a pen If you want courage, change, or a change in mood...first, envision the scenario in which you will need the Sacrea of Wind. Next, write those scenarios on the three paper balloons, then inflate the balloons. Once they naturally deflate, your Sacrea of Wind will be boosted. The Sacrea of Wind is effective when you desire courage or change. This charm is also effective when you want to confess your love to someone, or when you want to make a decision about something. Paper balloons can capture the Sacrea of Wind. When they deflate, the Sacrea will be instilled in you. This charm can be performed repeatedly. CALLING UPON THE SACREA OF WATER You will need: a cup and your favorite flower Fill the cup with clear water, float petals from the flower on its surface, and stir. Just carry the petals around with you to boost your Sacrea of Water. Boosting your Sacrea of Water can calm your emotions and make you gentler toward all you encounter. Try this charm when you feel irritated or have forgotten your sympathy and compassion. However, the Sacrea of Water tends to lose its power when it accumulates and stagnates in one place, so this charm is effective for one day only. CALLING UPON THE SACREA OF FIRE You will need: a rose and a necklace Place the necklace on the rose. Take it off after three days; wearing this necklace will call the Sacrea of Fire unto you. The Sacrea of Fire gives you strength of mind and body. This charm is effective when you feel faint of heart. It uses the rose, the Sacrea of Fire's lucky flower. This charm will transfer the rose's Sacrea to the necklace. Wearing the necklace will instill the Sacrea of Fire in you. CALLING UPON THE SACREA OF GREEN You will need: a cactus Give your cactus a "good morning!" greeting every a.m. before you leave for the day. Even just touching it lightly will do. Amassing the Sacrea of Green will cultivate within you an abundant heart. The Sacrea of Green bestows an ample heart and material abundance.* Try this charm at times when you feel under pressure or are experiencing financial difficulties. Cacti can survive even in the desert; their Sacrea is remarkably strong, even for plants. Talking to one enables you to call upon the Sacrea of Green. [* - This is the first time I've seen the Sacrea of Green associated with wealth. If so, why isn't Charlie its Guardian?] CALLING UPON THE SACREA OF STEEL You will need: a mobile phone and a white handkerchief Wrap the mobile phone in a white handkerchief and stroke the phone with your hand three times. Carry the handkerchief and phone together with you to call upon the Sacrea of Steel. The Sacrea of Steel bestows upon you ingenuity and creativity. If you want to do your job well and correctly, or if you desire ingenuity, this charm is for you. Your mobile phone stores the Sacrea of Steel; stroke the handkerchief-wrapped phone with your hand three times to charge the white handkerchief with the Sacrea's power. Be sure to keep your phone clean. CALLING UPON THE SACREA OF DREAM You will need: a compact and a pen Draw a circle and a cross at the four corners of your favorite compact, and carry the compact in your purse with you. This will boost your Sacrea of Dream. The Sacrea of Dream has the power to bestow beauty, freedom, and harmony. Your compact, the guardian of your beauty, is the perfect item for storing the Sacrea of Dream. Using this charm may boost your Sacrea of Dream and refinement of behavior, beauty, sociability, and more. CALLING UPON THE SACREA OF EARTH You will need: a book cover and a yellow-green or brown pen* [* - It is not specified whether the color refers to the ink or the barrel.] First, envision the scenario in which you'd like to wield the Sacrea of Earth, then draw it with the yellow-green or brown pen on the inside of your book cover. Reapply the book cover to the book, then carry the book around with you. It symbolizes stability and a love of learning and can gather the Sacrea of Earth. The Sacrea of Earth enhances one's wisdom and intelligence. If you'd like to be smarter - or wiser - this charm may be useful. By writing in the Sacrea of Earth's lucky item - a book - with a pen of the Sacrea of Earth's lucky colors - yellow-green or brown - you can call the Sacrea of Earth to you. ****************************************************************** Luck to Adorn Your Hand: LUCKY JEWELRY FOR EACH SACREA For those whose Sacrea type is LIGHT: A TOPAZ BRACELET to bring hope The recommended stone for those of Light is topaz.

Other lucky items: - white handkerchiefs - Items shaped like animals - fine-point pens [* - As someone with a geology degree: I thought they were actually being smart here by associating peridot with Earth, since peridot is the gemstone version of olivine, of which a great deal of the (planet) Earth, or at least its mantle, is made. My confidence was misplaced, and geology remains largely inapplicable to video game lore.]
