If you are inclined to say "yes" too often, and often regret it, you may make a "No Way" talisman. This would be a tiny pouch worn about your neck, stuffed with little papers on which you've written words and phrases such as "No," "Never," "Nyet," "Nein," "I think not," "Not in a billion years," and so on. Charge the talisman by drumming at the dark of the Moon. Next, lightly touch your lower lip and say "no" very firmly. Do it again and say "I think not," and repeat such phrases one hundred times. The next time anyone asks you for anything, touch your lower lip in exactly the same way, and touch your talisman (through your shirt) with the other hand. You will have the power to refuse-if you choose to. |
