In which situations you need to get rid of the charm:

1. He worn out. This relates more to tissue oversets than to straw. Bottled cloth or thread out of it are not considered a serious obstacle to use. But when the charm literally disintegrates in front of her eyes, so that it cannot be fixed, it is better to part with him.
2. Stopped working. Dolls made in order to remove from a person or his family trouble, come into disrepair faster than others. Externally, they can be like new ones, but suddenly cease to work. This happens when the amulet assumes a powerful impact of negative energy applied by an evil sorcerer. In this case, you should put it in the salt to clean. Or try to spend the ritual of cleaning with fire, but it is necessary to do it very carefully so that the fire does not begin.

• Puppet helps attract wealth, well-being or love, not necessarily completely destroying. You can dissolve by using materials for other purposes. With defenders from diseases, witchcraft and misfortune, it is impossible to do so. They are burned as far as possible from home.

Party with loved overalls, brought happiness, sad and hurt. But it is necessary to do. Do not store damaged or stopped working amulets for memory, because in this way you will contribute to the negative delay near yourself.
