- when my lover and i were having problems a few months ago, we decided
- to have a bonding ritual. when it came right down to it, though, i didn't
- feel i could go through with a serious ritual like that being so down and
- devoid of good, positive energy.
- we _will_ be doing the ritual in a few weeks; but we worked on the
- problems we were having and instead of a ritual to try to fix the problems,
- we're going to really be able to have a ritual that celebrates the love and
- the existing bonds between us.
- i would say, you'll enjoy the ritual much more if you're in a space
- that is not panicked and anxious, but relaxed and full of love. there's little
- use in bonding with someone when there are problems and the relationship is
- having difficulties. there may be a simple, non-magickal solution to the
- problems, and it is likely more communication.
