“But recently, I learned from an Indigenous writer that rituals are not simple magic. Their essence is to be a reminder of what a community did at a certain moment to get through a problem, in hopes that something different, a resolution, would happen. So, if we see rituals as marks on a community’s path towards transformation, we can also see culture’s great nature of change.”
So many good things in this essay. Thank you!
