As Jonathan said, there isn't much to this. Why is this horror or what should this be regarded as scary? I don't see anything in this. Rituals that are just rituals aren't good, for the most part. Rituals as part of the story, that might work, but then again, it can't be center stage for the whole story.

This whole "the human is dumb otherwise the plot won't work", yeah it doesn't do you any justice as a writer.

You should take the advice you were given here and try to apply it. I don't have much to add personally at this stage.
