  2. Cure of Warts

    Share Share Post
    If you have warts the cure for them is to rub rushes to them saying, In the name of the father and the son and of the Holy Ghost.
    Pour holy water on the rushes a few times bury the rushes in the garden and while they are dying the wart will wither away
