To win a difficult victory, write your name on a paper strip. On a similar strip, write the name of a person with whom you will compete. Remembering the Rule of Three, or "Do as you will, harm none," light the strip with your name in the flame of a new red candle, and use the strip of paper to light your competitor's strip. Blow out the flame from the strip with your name on it before it burns. Allow the strip with your competitor's name to burn to ashes, saying:
Carry the paper bearing your name with you during the competition. |
