RE: The Dilemma of Ritual for One Who Hates Conventions and Habits
I must confess to also having no ability to stick with rituals. I also tend to skip ceremonies if I possibly can. I didn't even go to my own high school or college graduation ceremony!
I have done once-off rituals in the past that were very powerful, such as candle burning rituals. And when I move into a new house I like to burn sage, if I happen to have some, to clear the energy. These are rituals. It's doing them consistently that I question. One might say, "If it works, why not keep doing it?" To which I'd reply, "If it worked, why do I need to do it again?"
I'm with you there. I didn't go to my college graduation either, or to the reunions - icky! And yes, one off rituals I've certainly done. Haha yes indeed - why do it again if it worked! I think rituals like that are nice to wrap your head around something - it's clearing space to think and process yourself, in my view, rather than the actual act or the repetition of it. I guess at times in our lives we have more need for rituals than others.
