The Burning Ointment is written by Angelica Castelluccia and promises to help you with all the problems that are related to health, especially in terms of physical problems. It can also provide you with all the spiritual benefits that you may need from the Mayan religion. The main focus of this book is on how to deal with the four elements - fire, earth, water and air. Although there are other works that also deal with these four elements, most of the works written by Angelica Castelluccia concentrate on pomada para queimadura (the burning ointment) and antes de Mexico (the antler sticks).
As the name suggests, the pomada para queimadura deals with cleansing rituals that are associated with the antlers. It is a ceremony that is carried out when you have to get some antlers in order for you to harvest corn or potatoes. It is normally done as part of some family activity where everyone collects some sort of animal droppings and brings it back to the family home. The reason for carrying out this ritual is that the antlers are considered to be sacred by the Mayans and they are believed to bring good luck and prevent evil from coming into the home.
In order to perform the Pomada para queimadura de sol, you will need some equipment. These include a large piece of cloth, a basin that is filled with water, a basin pan (a metal bowl), some twigs and some dry leaves. You will also need some prayer beads, incense and a small knife. When carrying out this ceremony, you will want to be in your barest costume possible, especially if you are going to use the basin as a source of water. It is said that if you are naked, you will not be able to pass over water that has already been immersed in it.
The pomada para queimadura de 1 vezes ao dos, meaning that it should last for one year. If you are using the basin in order to collect the antler droppings, you should use a basin pan that is made out of metal (this should have a cover). It is advisable that you gather all the droppings from the same animal. This will ensure that you are using uncontaminated water. It is also worth noting that you should never use chlorinated water when carrying out any form of ceremonial cleansing. If you are using a decontamination device, you should be sure that it is also clean and uncontaminated.
The pomada de sol is also known as a tambourine. If you want to make an instrument that is similar to a tambourine (which is a stringed instrument that has many strings), you should purchase a pomada de sol. You can find these instruments at almost any retailer that specializes in woodwork (tribal, arts and crafts). They are reasonably priced, and there is even one that is sold with a twelve string guitar!
The pomada de sol is made out of three distinct parts: the pomade (or como), the stuffing (or sono) and the decorations. If you want to make your own pomada para queimadura e using only animal furs, then you should purchase the stuffing from a dealer who specialises in ethnic products (i.e. in Peru). Alternatively, if you want to make something totally unique and exclusive, then it is possible to choose to buy all three components separately. If you choose to do this, make sure that you have the necessary expertise to be able to sew them back together properly.
