I performed the dedication ritual yesterday, but it was far from perfect because I couldn't cut my finger. I have anxiety, and just bringing the needle or lancet close to my finger causes me to panic. I tried anyway, but I couldn't even get a single drop of blood. During the ritual, I felt sad that I couldn't get any blood and felt like too much of a failure for the Gods to accept me.
After the ritual, I didn't feel anything different—no words in my mind, no strange animal behaviors, and I didn't notice anything unusual. The sky did clear up from cloudy to sunny, but I think that was just a coincidence. Even so, I'm still trying to cope with all of this.
Should I try the ritual again? Should I try it in the astral plane this time?

Yes, you can do it in the astral plane.

The only thing that matters are your intentions. The Gods understand everything about your situation, everything about your emotions and intentions and goals. It is known what you are trying to do, and it is known how strongly you wish for this. There is nothing to worry about. You are accepted and you did not do anything wrong. The Gods recognize you.

Think of it this way. The Dedication is perfectly valid when it is done mentally/astrally. And what you did is physically more than that, and still with all of the same mental focus and intention.

Thank you so much. I was feeling really down, and your words brought me a lot of comfort. Today, I went through a pretty tough moment in my personal life, but despite everything, it all worked out. Seeing your words now, I think maybe the Gods were with me.

Have zero doubts, the dedication is about stating to the Gods that you are with them, any material part is just symbolic. If you are so anxious you can repeat it, the Gods will understand both, if you repeat it or not, but again, you are dedicated.
