Wikipedia notes that "healing rites performed by shamans frequently identify social disorder as the cause, and make the restoration of social relationships the cure." Browsing by practitioner lets a visitor find every ritual entrusted to one particular kind of specialist.FactsLearn MoreTrained or authorised specialistsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedRites tied to a recurring point in a tradition's calendar rather than to an event in a life - a weekly sabbath, a seasonal turning, an annual first-fruits offering. Each is reckoned in its own calendar, so the recurrence is regular within the tradition and irregular against the civil year. 2StatusStanding as a Comparative CategoryWell-attestedA standard analytic category in the study of religion 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedRituals 1Learn MoreThe Calendrical Rituals This group holds calendrical rituals, the rites fixed to the cycle of the year and the calendar: the observances of seasons, new moons, solstices and the recurring festivals that structure sacred time. They bind the community to the turning of the year and the rhythm of its tradition. The browser will find calendrical rituals from various traditions. The entries describe each rite's timing, form and meaning, noting the tradition and the moment in the year it marks.Trained or authorised specialistsFilter Results3 entriesAddressed ToAllAmma (1)Origin Period Start YearAll800 (1)FrequencyAllAnnual (1)Multi-Year Cycle (1)Seasonal, at set points in the year (1)Closed Practice StatusAllClosed ceremonial knowledge, described but not reproduced (1)Life Stage MarkedAllEntry into the community or the order (1)Scholarly StandingAllA standard analytic category in the study of religion (2)Used, but its validity as a comparative category is disputed (1)Social FormAllPerformed by a gathered group (2)Practice StatusAllLiving tradition, practised today (1)Revived or reconstructed in the modern era (1)Native To RegionAllJapan (1)Originated InAllJapan (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 3KemariTrained or authorised specialistsKwakwaka'wakw Winter CeremonialTrained or authorised specialistsThe Dogon Sigui CeremonyTrained or authorised specialistsSources1.
