The Emotional Component of a Ritual

Someplace public where you're going to be bothered is not a great place for a ritual unless being bothered is part of the ritual. Someplace that you've carefully selected to do this work is really best. Just make sure you have as much room as you need and you won't be disturbed. Lave refers to desires as the first ingredient in a successful ritual. Without desire for the outcome, the working cannot succeed. If it is love you want, you need to feel it deep inside your chest. If it's peace and harmony which you desire, then you need to get yourself blissed out. We never regret it. No, never once.
