Santa Cruz de Caravaca Amulet
Most spells that are used in Mexican magic are love spells, and one of the most famous is that of Santa Elena de la Cruz, which a lot of people have memorized, albeit in slightly different versions. Others are for healing, typically. One such prayer and ritual is the healing spell of the Santa Cruz de Caravaca. This name is also the title of a small booklet which contains many very old prayers, various versions of which are used by curanderos for different purposes.
This amulet has been "prepared", which is to say, it has been rendered effective and given power by a Mexican curandero, Carlos Cisneros, of Gomez Palacios, Durango, who used the curing method from the ancient grimorio La Clavícula del Rey Salomon. This involves a series of special prayers to the seven spirits of the seven days, plus setting the amulets out in the light of the waxing moon, and the use of both incense and special perfume.
Besides the healing spell below, the Cruz de Caravaca is actually worn or carried as a protection against all forms of evil - particularly against black magic. There is a book or prayers used by curanderos, known as La Santa Cruz de Caravaca, and the prayer invoking the power of this cross is central to the collection.
The following is a description of the healing spell, in the original Spanish, and after that, my translation:

Receta de la Cruz de Caravaca
En qué casos la utilizo:
· Últimamente mi salud está pasando por un mal momento.
· Un familiar está atravesando una enfermedad y deseo que se recupere lo antes posible.
· Quiero mejorar mi estado de salud.
Qué necesito:
· Una vela de color azul.
· Un papel fino.
· Celo.
· Una foto de la persona enferma.
Este ritual lo puede hacer la persona que está enferma, o bien un familiar o amigo en nombre de ella. La duración del ritual es de nueve días.
Comenzamos. Escribe en un papel el nombre de la persona que se encuentra mal. Una vez hecho esto, enrolla el papel alrededor de la vela y pégalo a ésta con celo. Si tienes una foto de la persona enferma, ponla al lado de la vela. A continuación, enciende la vela, y en una posición de recogimiento y oración, inicia el ritual repitiendo la siguiente oración, ya sea mencionándote a ti o a la persona que quieres que mejore:
"Santa Cruz de Caravaca, me acojo a tu poder grandioso para que tu fuerza aleje de mi vida cualquier mal o enfermedad que me aqueje y retire las penas que me afligen. Oh, Cruz Celestial, por el poder del bien, líbrame de todo mal. Incline el Señor su oído a mi súplica, con la cual imploro el amor y la comprensión para mi salud. Guíame, Santa Cruz de Caravaca, en el tránsito de mi vida terrena e ilumíname. Presérvame en los momentos más peligrosos de mi vida, sobre todo cuando mi salud está un poco precaria. Te suplico, Santa Cruz bendita, que tu apoyo llegue a mi vida y yo me encuentre bien para seguir manteniendo mi fuerza de voluntad y mi salud. Amén".
Si eres creyente y deseas hacerlo, reza tres padrenuestros cada vez que repitas esta oración, en acción de gracias por los favores que estás pidiendo de antemano.
No olvides dejar la vela encendida durante unos trece o veinte minutos cada día. Al noveno día, tendrás que dejar que se consuma por completo.
IMPORTANTE:
Si observas que la persona enferma no ha notado ninguna mejoría en su salud, puedes repetir de nuevo el ritual pasados unos diez o quince días. Ten en cuenta que es una oración muy poderosa si la haces con fe.

Recipe of the Cruz of Caravaca
In which cases it is to be used:
· Lately my health is bad.
· A relative is experiencing an illness and I desire that she recover as soon as possible.
· I want to improve my state of health.
What I need:
· A blue candle.
· A sheet of fine paper.
· Celophane
· The sick person's photo.
The person who is ill could perform this ritual, or a relative or friend on behalf of her.
The duration of the ritual is nine days.
To begin, write the name of the person that is ill on the paper. Once this is done, wind the paper around the candle and hold it to the candle by wrapping celophane around it. If you have the sick person's photo, put it beside the candle. Next, light the candle, and in a position of seclusion and prayer, begin the ritual repeating the following prayer, either naming yourself or the person that you want to see improve:
"Santa Cruz de Caravaca, I take refuge under your grandiose power so that your force distances from my life any wrong or illness that may trouble me and retire the pains that afflict me. Oh, Celestial Cruz, for the power of the good, liberate me of all wrong. Incline the Lord to hear my plea, with which I implore love and understanding for my health. Guide me, Santa Cruz de Caravaca, in the traffic of my terrestrial life and illuminate me. Preserve me in the most dangerous moments of my life, mainly when my health is a little precarious. I beg you, blessed Santa Cruz, that your support come into to my life and I be well in order to continue maintaining my willpower and my health. Amen."
If you are believer and you want to do so, pray three padrenuestros every time that you repeat this prayer, in action of thanks for the favors that you are requesting beforehand.
Don't forget leave the lit candle during about thirteen or twenty minutes every day. On the ninth day, you will have to leave burning until it burns out completely.
IMPORTANT:
If you observe that the sick person has not noticed no improvement in their health, you could repeat the ritual again about ten or fifteen days later. Keep in mind that it is a very powerful prayer if it is done with faith.
