Ritual Statement
Some of the elements of language we don’t now recognize as ritual were actually former rituals. The handshake was a disarming process and bragging was a ritual both in Norse and Japanese cultures, but there is something deeper to ritual. Wedding ceremonies to birthday parties, if they have meaning it’s because they have a message.…

Using Ritual
The little ritual, or psychodrama if you will, might seem to have no power or meaning. But as people have often experienced, if you dream about something aggravating at night, your next day may be very much affected. Much of dream and ritual are connected.

Atavistic ritual all relies on triggering the mirroring nervous system in one way or another, through ceremonial dance, meditation, even costume. The purpose being to create a link with and even a sort of identification with another species. This is the oldest form of ritual on the entire planet. Is the virtual world of Second…

Ritual Awakening
In the mysteries, the officiating member or psychopomp often “costumes” themselves as an archetypal figure. They dress their presence in the form of the spirit that brings their society together even though it isn’t their singular, individual identity as a person. This is why you hear of “black masses” always being attended by a mysterious…
