So, I did end up successfully performing the dedication ritual. I just want to make absolutely sure that what I did was still valid. You see, I have a few razor bumps, and, I ended up lancing the biggest with the needle. It worked. I got all the blood I needed. I just want to make absolutely certain that father will accept that. There was no real significance to pricking the upper left-hand corner of the left index finger other than it normally being a good place from which to draw blood, right? Hail Satan!
