A rare window of opportunity will appear for me in a couple of hours - to be completely alone in the house and able to finally do the Dedication Ritual. I have known about JoS for several years now. The first time I started going, irl problems just made me forget and neglect my meditations. This time, I'm staying for good.
Seeing as I don't know when I will be able to do this again and above all, the fact the ritual is one-time and permanent, I will now ask a bunch of stupid questions, as I want absolutely no possible mistakes.
1. Candles - seeing as I probably wouldn't be able to get colored candles even if I had time, would a simple candle suffice? Also, it's possible it was bought in an orthodox christian church, so would that be a problem?
2. The Paper - By "clean", I suppose it means I shouldn't use some 10 year old yellow, stained paper. Also does it matter if the paper is bland, with lines or squares etc.(yes, stupid question, but like i said, I want no mistakes)
3. The Prayer - When I write "Before the almighty and ineffable God Satan/Lucifer", do I write literally "Satan/Lucifer" or just one of my choosing?
4. Meditation - seeing as I probably wouldn't have enough time to relax and comfortably meditate, and judging by the JoS site, I presume it is completely optional and I can just blow out the candle when I'm done?
5. HAIL SATAN! - I sincerely mean it and yell from the top of my lungs?
6. In case I am interrupted in the middle of the ritual... like I said, I know it's one-time and permanent, but if it is interrupted before it is concluded, can it be repeated later and can the paper with the prayer and my signature in blood be disposed off?
