Urittosergios COVID-19 (Against the sickness COVID-19)

It is not likely to surprise anyone reading this that COVID-19 has spread to all six habitable continents, claimed lives, and significantly disrupted many more. Of course, one must take the mundane steps necessary in order to prevent further spread of the virus. Such as:

• Washing your hands often.
• Not touching your face.
• Keeping a distance from others. (6 feet, or roughly 1.5 to 2 meters)
• Staying home when reasonably possible.

However, along with that, one in Galatibessus (Galatis Custom) may wish to also turn to the Dêuoi to help us. This is common with people in many other customs. Be it for the desire to ask for more than any one of us can do or for the releasing of our hopes, a ritual is provided below.

Make sure to wash your face and hands at the least, that you may be ritually clean (Glanos) before beginning. Leave offerings at the indicated verses. I kept the Gaulish simple, but the English translations are in parentheses (). If you use a translate function, it should translate into your normal language if it is not English:

Urittosergios COVID-19 / Against the COVID-19 sickness

[This rite is done in plural. Most will likely be doing this rite alone. However, I think it is safe to say that many Galatîs stand with you on this. You are not alone.]
