I did a small ritual last thursday. Pretty simple and short. probably lasted about 20 minutes at the most. I did it mainly to bless a candle.
The next day my candle had disappeared. But what really got my attention is the anger. I am a slightly angry person anyway. Its something I think was handed down in my family. My mom's side are angry people. I work on my anger a lot .Anyway I was feeling quite out of sorts on Saturday and got in an argument witha coworker over small unimportant stuff. Normally I would just say I had a bad day. No biggie. Go home have a pint of home made beer and watch t v. But I decided to go to a grocery store before I went home. Big mistake! When I had left the store I saw a truck pull up behind my jeep and this woman got out and opened the drivers side of my Jeep. I freaked! I ran over to her and yelled "Hey!" She turned around and told me that she meant to turn my head lights off because I had left them on. I felt like a horses ass...I felt like I had just been dropped out of a horses ass! I apologised and she kept explaining herself as she climbed into her truck. And I kept apologising.
I spent most of the rest of my saturday evening breathing and meditating. This morning I found myself angrier than normal and on the way to work this afternoon I gave another driver the finger when he tried to switch lanes right into the exact spot was in. This really isnt normal for me.Did I inadvertantly take something on during my ritual. And how do I deal with this? Pissed off in California.

If I saw someone getting into my car I would be angry too, even if they had an explination! It is a pretty dodgy thing to be doing (though maybe you should have locked the door...)
I do believe that often a simple, mundane answear is going to be more likely than a complex spiritual one. Maybe you did get bad vibes from your ritual, but then maybe it's just coincidence that lots of annoying things happened on the same day which got your goat up.
Stoat up?
Something like that.

Always a good plan. Works most evenings, not just Saturdays.

So someone tried to do you a favour by switching your lights off and you came across a bad driver. This was over three days - Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I'd say you were having a normal, up-and-down, sort of life. These things happen.

Is this the first time you have done a ritual? Or are workings relatively new to you?

The reason I ask is that I very very much doubt that you have taken on anything "evil" for a start.. theres no such thing really in that sense. And no Im not running down people who believe in ghosts.. Im a believer myself, but it doesnt quite work that way.. aaaanyhooo.

When you first start workinngs, you are starting to open up yourself and your emotions and your energies. You have to be aware that by tapping into you energies you heighten ALL emotions, but if you have a propensity towards one in particular like anger or or the other extreme joy.. you will for a short while after feel like that emotion is pushing itself forward.. it isnt.. its just that you are more aware of it. In time, you will become more aware of how to control your emotions and balance yourself more easily.

Dont panic. The bogy man is not out to get you.

Also.. if some random stranger opened my car.. I'd freak out! No matter what the intention was.

Id lock my car soon as I got out of it........

Well she would say that, wouldn't she?

Seriously though, I think you're just having an irritable week. I wouldn't worry about any link to your ritual.

Lizard, having read your blog too, I think maybe you've just got a lot on your mind, esepcially with regards yoru friend and her health.
You do not have to consciously be thinking about somethign fo rit to affect your state of mind.

Id say concetrate on the meditating. try focussing on things that make you happy and feel"up". Have you tried aromatherapy? It is wonderful for lifting the spirit so to speak and balancing your mood. If you want any specific advice on this PM me.

Yup, too much anger tends to throw a person out of synch with causality, so you will simply have to release some of that energy into something creative that requires physical force. Gardening, chipping wood or rock, for instance. Can't quite remember, but wasn't there an American writer who had a wax dummy of Nixon he used to abuse?

Mammy!!! She's doing it AGAIN!!!! Its HER mammy its her.. she has both feet in the arms!

Actually just realised that might be a bit random for the non Billy Connolly fans.

Sorry.

DUH! What do you expect me to call it? Eh? Your way or the highway, huh?

Small.. simple words...

Anger makes you feel floopy. Will do!

Ahhh forgive me... Im in a funny mood today.

Aye - AND the buttons are digging into me back!

Xalle's got a good point here - emotions, from my own experience anyway, do come to the fore. Maybe you need to recognise that not all anger is 'bad' - 'cos it sounds as if you were justified - maybe you need to trust your anger a little more.
