Performing rituals:
be mindful of order;
ingredients correct;
beware any typos;
for the perfect effect.
Performing rituals
with well-reasoned intent;
you dare not leave to chance
matters of love and death
— and all else to enhance.
Performing rituals
in silver of moonlight,
with runes’ rocky rubble;
ghost mist as my witness
to lasso my troubles.
Performing rituals
for some, common practice
when in season of need;
give snake rattle a shake;
let Gaia intercede.

Thank you, Maria. I like what you pulled from your NOLA book about every ritual allays a fear. It’s very true.
