why belief is important

I think its important to personalize spells and rituals. If you are uncomfortable with an aspect of the spell, simply change it to suit your needs better. Obviously, be careful with the change you made. If you are uncomfortable with what you're doing, Its not wise to practice it.

I agree. I think it's easy to believe something will work when you want it bad enough, but there is the occassion when logic stands in the way, that is when an understanding of WHY you believe what you do comes in handy. It reminds you to keep believing.
