Lost in the ritual flame
Added 2024-10-31 03:13:27 +0000 UTCFirst, the personal cleansing process...little more than a shower, plus a rub with various fragrant herbs. Then a period of focus, as you travel to the ritual site (best performed in a graveyard under a full moon). Vocalizing your desire repeatedly while visualizing it in your mind is key. Then, at the site, burn two candles, one for each eye...gaze deeply into them and recite the incantation, and if all goes well, you will be granted the object of your desire...
It had all sounded so simple. She wouldn't need anyone else to assist or come along, nor did she want to admit to anyone her spiteful wish...to turn that bitch into a goat, to make her pay for everything. But cruel witchy transformations were a thing of fairy tales...in the real world, it is paramount that you do no harm, lest such evils be visited upon you instead...
She didn't even notice as it was happening, so transfixed was her gaze on those points of light. She shifted to make herself more comfortable, eventually laying entirely on the cold ground, as her legs reoriented and her feet shifted into hooves...white hair erupted across her body, and still she stared into the flames...eventually, sleep would claim her, and in the morning she would awaken to a debased and shameful existence, one brought on by her own hubris.
