POLL: The Use of Protection Rituals

[Tyler Durden Maybe]

I voted: "no, have never tried one"

For me personally, the whole idea of "Ritual", has always rubbed me the wrong way. Even the word "Ritual" gives me a bad vibe.

But, maybe I don't understand what the definition of "Ritual" means in the context of "Protection Ritual"

For example, every time I start a Bike Ride, I say aloud "Hey Universe, hit me with car why don't ya!" and by what I call "The Law of Revere Universe Psychology" a car never hits me. Is that a "Protection Ritual?"
