Two missed days of posting. The 22nd I actually was not able to be at the altar to do the regular work. So, when it looked like I wasn’t going to be home in time, I tried an experiment while I was out: I went through all the motions of the ritual at a table while imagining myself at the altar, galdring where I sat, and so on. When I got home I turned the disks. It seemed to do the trick, though I noted the empowerment is more effective when I am physically at the altar and do the work in person. Still, the empowerment work was done.
