I just performed the dedication ritual. I was sitting in the bushes out in the backyard. I wrote the prayer, lit the candle, signed my name, read it, then burned it on the candle and in a bowl. I sat and watched it burn, and it was pretty much gone when I heard my mom walking around somewhere. I quickly blew out the candle and hid my bag before my mom could see. She was mostly concerned about the candle, and she toke it and the bowl away with her.
I never got to say "So mote it be" at the end. I went through a lot to get the candle and the bowl and everything, and I'm really worried that because of my mom stepping in, it could have all gone down the drain.
