    Failed Ritual

    Okay so last Saturday the coven I'm in decided on doing a banishing illness ritual. Seemed like a great idea as most of us had gotten over a cold just the week before and we didn't really want to get sick anymore during this Winter. The ritual was a little rushed because as we started setting up outside we realized it was gonna start raining soon and we did it real informal as there weren't that many of us that night. Well, the next morning I wake with a sore throat and a stuffy noise. Today I'm curled up in a heating blanket even worse. So, yeah, failed ritual. lol. At least I'm not alone. Another member also got the cold I have.

    Just thought I'd share this. I thought it was kind of funny.

    It probably didn't work because you rushed it.

    Banishing illnesses, I find work best indoors (expecially during cold/flu season) and I have found poppits work the best for me when I'm doing any type of personal banishing.

      It most likely was from rushing it, but it wasn't because we were outside. I live in East Texas and was wearing shorts because it was warm. lol.

          I'd suggest maybe trying the ritual again, but maybe with different people? Or you could do it solo? Just a thought How you get well

            Its nice some times, but I'd like a Christmas/Yule wear it was actually feels like Winter. Our clothing stores are already putting out bathing suits. lol I'd prefer a place that snows. I'm temped to more North every winter.

            I'm gonna do a solo one later and see how that goes after I get over this current cold. However, with my luck I'll do it again and wake up the next day with the flu. lol

              When several people in one family get a cold virus from each other right down the line, the virus can mutate so that the first person can catch it again as a different virus. They're sneaky devvils that way. Chances are you all traded germies with each other and just got sick all over again. Don't assume it was a failure until you see whether you get sick again this winter or stay healthy.

                Maybe the ritual worked ... Incompletely ... Just dumped it all on you and your friend ... Energy has to go somewhere ... You might just have been the receivers ...

                Indian Chief 'Two Eagles' was asked by a white government official; "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."

                The Chief nodded in agreement.

                The official continued; "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"

                The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied.. "When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine Man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex."

                Then the chief leaned back and smiled; "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."

                  Hadn't thought of that one. I did later on remember that when we called on the element of water we asked it to flow into our circle and wash away all illness from our bodies. Maybe we should have stayed for the rain after all? lol

                    Yup ... The powers that be just might have a sense of humor after all ... Something you wanted happened, just not the way you wanted ...

                      I really do believe they have a sense of humor. They would almost have too.

                      One of the other members was thinking it could be that we were already sick and had yet to feel it and the ritual just speed up the process. There are just so many possible reasons.....so to my tarot I go! lol
