The Art of Ritual
by Renee Beck & Sydney Barbara Metrick
Rituals mark life's momentous, symbolic events, from special birthdays and holidays to personal affairs such as a child's first day of school or the death of a pet. In THE ART OF RITUAL, Renee Beck and Sydney Barbara Metrick explain the power, relevance, and need for ritual, and describe the various types of rituals (their myths, symbols, and history), as well as how to prepare and perform them.
