Part 1. Ritual Abuse What Is A Ritual?
A ritual is an action that has symbolic meaning. It may be private, like taking a good luck charm to an exam, or public (socially shared), like saluting the flag. Rituals may be reserved for rare occasions such as births, unions, deaths, changes of social status; or may be used daily, for example, saying grace or gesundheit, kissing a child goodnight.
