Demonic ritual?

[Rod Serling]

Somebody said (in jest/in context, not literally) "be alone in a dark roon, with only a candle and your hands grasped, with only one finger, slightly bent, pointing upwards", what does this signify? Is it some sort of diabolic ritual?

Doesn't sound very diabolical. Sounds more like a way of picking your nose in secret ; )

Where did you hear/read this?
