Cool, I hadn't seen that one before.
Actually, I think he did an excellent job at it. (sounds a bit goofy in the spoken parts, as if trying to sound a little sinister . . . course, the camera will put a couple pounds on LOL)
His performance of the ritual was well done, good vibration (bit lodge'ie sounding) and he seems well practiced at the form.
A+
I think everyone would benefit from video taping thier rituals. Not only does it give you a chance to view and critic it from a "detached" point of reference (as well as the photographer as in this one) . . . but to submit it to the general (internet) public for "peer review" is not only brave and confident, but an excellent way to solicite additional critic.
Yes, it look basically "by the book" . . . although, everyone (after practice and assimilation) adds, removes and modifies certain aspects to fit thier personal work and style
Dogs are dogs . . . mine sometimes hangs-out around my space . . . and lets not even start on the darn cat who ALWAYS!! wants indoors during ritual (right in the middle usually)
Just, no one should assume that what is seen on this (or any) video is the only way it should be done. This, and every, ritual is a development of a personal practice. Its only "right" when its done by the person the way its done by THAT person.
nice, thanks St. Ian.
