If you rely on your computer, you want to make sure it keeps running smoothly. This blessing bestows some magical protection on your precious equipment. For this you need two things, a computer-shaped puppet (you can buy plush computer toys in many stores, or make your own) and a clear plastic container large enough to hold the puppet. Name the puppet after your computer and touch it to each part of your system, then charge it by saying: “Clear screen and true colors, trouble-free memory and data, chips and disks, fleet-running programs and applications, knife-sharp printer and clean paper—all the system now secure!” Place the puppet in the container, and seal and store the container near your computer. Repeat periodically to keep sufficient energy in the protective field.
