A unique, hands-on guide to the craft of ritual making
Playing, making art and ritualising are essential to being human. Our need for ritual used to be taken care of through village life or religious institutions. A growing number of people in Western societies find that these contexts no longer meet their need for ritual because their ritual identity has evolved.
I designed this practical guide for those who need to mark the significant transitions in their lives or create fitting ceremonies for public events. While traditional rituals have basically two phases: planning and realizing the ritual, to be effective, emerging rituals require a middle phase: creating. This book contains a unique toolbox with simple serviceable tools for the creation of meaningful secular rituals.
