BASIC PHYSICAL CLEANLINESS
The pre-requisite of ablutions is a bath or shower. It is important that the entire body is clean especially the genitals and all orifices of elimination. In many indigenous cultures the left hand is used to clean the genitals after elimination and touching unclean things, the right for eating, handling important items, greeting people, etc. The observation of this is still noted throughout many cultures today.

Once the bath or shower is completed ablutions is done. Ablutions can be done while in a shower (not in a bath) or can be done in an area aside from where Zem Zem or other ritual will be done. If doing ablutions outside of shower you will need a container to hold the water, a bucket or pail (if not outdoors), and somewhere to sit while you clean your feet, unless you are good enough to balance yourself standing.

The following is the prescription of ablution. Please pay mind to how the water is poured into the right hand and/or transitioned to the left hand. It is not poured directly into the left hand.

However its power is increased when the person saying it is pure (after ablutions) and is following as many commandments as possible. This spell can be said in times when one feels threatened, worried, or in danger and wishes for the most harmonious results.
