The Rituals of Witches

Rituals draw many to both Wicca and Witchcraft. What is a ritual? That all depends on which type of ritual that you are talking about. Almost everyone has a daily ritual that involves getting up in the morning, brushing his or her teeth, getting dressed, and than eating breakfast. (I always thought it was kind of stupid to brush your teeth before you ate and do it afterwards). That is a ritual, something you do religiously every single day and feel guilty if you miss a day. That is one type of ritual: doing the same thing every day. How you do things is another kind of ritual. Like how you take a shower/bath: some people run the water first and get in after the water is just right, others get in and turn the water on after; some shampoo their hair and then wash their body, other wash first and shampoo after. Each person cleans his or her body in a different way from everyone else, and does the exact same thing every time. This too, is a ritual-repetition in habits.
