Yeah I don't get people who are so afraid to do anything they do nothing.
It seems to me this is one case where sincerity is more important than competence. If you're sincere in your desire to honor/connect/etc with the gods, then flub ups don't matter.
Then again, my belief system holds that all the rituals & toystools are for our benefit. They help us get altered and focus on the goal at hand.
Besides, did the recons ever consider that maybe the ancients didn't do it perfectly either?
