I have no experience with spells or rituals of any kind but I do enjoy the spiritual side of things.
But yesterday was me and my bf's last day in a place, we were on the beach watching a gorgeous sunset where the sky looked like it was on fire and I just felt like getting in the water.
When I got in the water (just after sunset, still light) it just felt like a good moment to set an intention, and since I was, why not ask the sea for a blessing and help with those intentions?
But it felt odd to ask for something without giving something in return and I had nothing on me except jewelry. I did have a thin silver ring that I wouldn't mind parting with and it just felt fitting.
I held the ring in my hand while I named in my head the things I wanted (at first some specific things but then I got anxious about "technicalities" of I am too specific so I named some general things as well) and I swear I could feel an underwater current where previously the sea was super calm. I did get slightly anxious then but figured it was nothing and dropped the ring anyway.
Well, that was that, it felt like a nice "ritual" to do on the last day before returning home although I did feel a bit stressed that maybe I didn't do it the "right" way.
But then on our way home we hit a stray cat with our car (I wasn't driving). That never happened before and the coincidence left me a bit shaken.
Today I also had a few close brushes with bad luck (when putting my backpack in the overhead compartment on the plane, my water bottle slipped out and very nearly hit a one year old in the head on the way down + almost lost my phone)
Now I'm overthinking it. Did I do something wrong? Mess with something? Or is it just a coincidence and I need to calm down?
Thank you for all advice!
