Boring?

Yeah, the first time, I was lost...I didn't know what to look or listen for, but that is when it came time to do some "independent study" afterwards. The more I go through it, each time I find something else to appreciate.

What were you expecting? Sacrifice? Fireworks?

Ditto to what Measi said as well. It's all about internalizing it and making it mean something in your own life.

It really is an independent study thing. The first time I went through the rituals were overwhelming in the sense that I was a pledge and had no idea what was going on.

The second time, I was more of an observer because I was now seeing it from the other side.

After that, I started re-reading the ritual and considering the things within it that struck me immediately as either interesting or important.

Perhaps it's the Pagan faith in me-- I find rituals to be soothing and comforting by nature. It's just the traditional-ness of it all.
