Kanzo: Preparations for Couche

You will need some things for Kanzo that will take time to gather.

Special beads -- the Sacred Kolyes require approximately 1500 - 1800 glass crow beads. These can be a little daunting to shop for, so be sure to check with Mambo about where to find the best prices and selections.

White clothing -- sounds simple, but lately locating white pants has been a real challenge for the men. White skirt and blouse or a white dress for the women.

Patchwork clothing -- broomstick skirt, patchwork dress (think peasant or bohemian style); patchwork shirts, blue jeans for the men only.

White sleep wear -- short sleeve nightgown for the women, pajamas or medical scrubs for the guys has worked. One set is fine.

Two new white twin flat sheets

One new white bath-size towel

One bottle Barbanncourt Rum

One bottle of champagne

All leather sandals for the Batem -- no artificial footwear
