I mean you're getting BALLED, that's all it is is BALLIN' lady. BALLIN'!

Definitely an interesting little picture ... some of the pieces of this movie are awesome, but I feel somewhat disappointed with the outcome - can't say exactly why though. I guess it's the message; what is this movie saying?

Is there some meaning here, or is it just "bored wife dabbles in witchcraft, deceives herself into thinking it's working, which ultimately leads to her mistakenly killing her (astonishingly faithful) husband without a moment of regret" ?

Was shooting her husband maybe a requirement for her to be initiated or something?

No higher meaning, no initiation. She was just a silly, lost human that dabbled in "witchcraft" in attempt to find identity, and freaked out when a stray cat (Varago!!) wandered into the house.
