What a delightful journey into the world of rituals and meaningful moments! The four types of rituals offers a thoughtful framework for readers to reflect on their own practices. An inspiring reminder to appreciate the smaller treasures in life, finding beauty and significance in the everyday. Thank you Marianne, for this glimpse into the world of rituals and treasures.
Thanks, Winston. I think that finding beauties in our everyday is easily overlooked, but I do believe they are all around us. We just have to start noticing.
That is an interesting classification of rituals into these four types. Thanks for recommending Casper ter Kuile's book: will place “The Power of Ritual” on my to-read list. I feel like #1 and #4 are similar and can be interchangeable, depending on context?
Have you read Sasha Sagan's book, For Small Creatures Such as We? She also writes about the meaning of rituals, from a secular-oriented perspective, an enjoyable read. I wrote about it and about some rituals discussed during a roundtable (InterIntellect salon) with her that I attended in Boston recently: https://onhumanity.substack.com/p/gardens
Thanks Pavel for your kind comments and for reading. Sasha Sagan's book sounds like a wonderful read, with some common threads with Casper's book such as one can practice rituals by having a deeper intention and attention with yourself, your loved ones, your team, your surroundings, etc. and these do not have to be religious practices but something that can provide deep meaning to you.
