Laptop recognises new battery, but refuses to charge it. Apparently a ritual that involves disconnecting the battery, disconnecting the charger, and holding the power button might fix that. idk.

I miss the old rituals where you'd have a henge and a bonfire.

Update: New laptop battery is charging.

My problem fixed itself and I have no idea why.

I did not do the power reset ritual.

@pjf Nothing saying you can't incorporate a little tradition. You know. For the ancestors!

@randomgeek @pjf Eastern Europe still maintains some very impressive shamanic headgear that could assist these transformative processes if Morris dancing is not to your taste.

@pjf I miss the ritual in between the bonfire and "now", where you simply replaced the battery and went on with your life as if nothing happened, and aside from your battery suddenly having more capacity, nothing out of the ordinary happened or needed to happen.

@Firesphere : Oh heck, you're right. That used to be a thing.

Laptops and phones were designed to have swappable batteries.

Yeah, I liked that ritual too.

@pjf you did the "try to show someone else the problem only for it to disappear" ritual instead

@inlaing : Possibly! It's one of my favourite rituals in terms of how often it works.

@pjf Sometimes batteries just change their mind. They have free will, you know.

@pjf since it's a ritual I did it here with my computer and battery. Since they're forged of the silicone the healing transferred to yours.
