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 MoreHouseholders, those living in the worldSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOriginsWhose Classification This IsWell-attestedThe category is van Gennep's: Les rites de passage (1909) proposed that such rites everywhere follow a three-stage pattern of separation, liminality and incorporation, and Victor Turner's 1969 work on liminality made the middle stage the centre of the frame. It is a scholars' scheme, not a traditions' one. 2OverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedRites marking a passage in an individual life - birth and naming, coming of age, marriage, ordination, death. Nearly every tradition marks some of these, but not the same set, and which passages are marked by religious rite rather than by civil custom differs by tradition and by period. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedRituals 1StatusStanding as a Comparative CategoryWell-attestedA standard analytic category in the study of religion 2Learn MoreThe lifecycle rituals This group gathers lifecycle rituals, the rites that mark the great transitions of a human life: birth and naming, coming of age, marriage, and other passages by which a person moves from one status to the next. Such rites of passage are found in every religious tradition and are among the most universal features of religious life. The browser will find lifecycle rituals from across the world's traditions. The entries describe each rite's form, meaning and setting, noting the tradition to which it belongs and the transition it marks.Householders, those living in the worldFilter Results12 entriesAddressed ToAllGod (Abrahamic) (1)Origin Period Start YearAll-1000 (1)-800 (4)1550 (1)Attested InAllTorah (1)FrequencyAllOnce, or at a turning point in a life (12)Life Stage MarkedAllA milestone of childhood (3)Birth and the newborn (3)Coming of age (3)Entry into the community or the order (1)Marriage (1)Naming of a child (2)ObligationAllObligatory (4)Obligatory on those who meet its conditions (1)Optional and voluntary (1)Recommended and meritorious, not required (1)Scholarly StandingAllA standard analytic category in the study of religion (11)Largely abandoned as a comparative category (1)Social FormAllPerformed by a gathered group (8)Practice StatusAllLiving tradition, practised today (9)Revived or reconstructed in the modern era (1)Native To RegionAllIndian Subcontinent (5)TraditionAllBreslov Hasidism (2)Chabad-Lubavitch (2)Haredi Judaism (2)Hasidic Judaism (1)Modern Orthodox Judaism (2)Orthodox Judaism (2)Reform Judaism (1)Originated InAllIndia (1)Indian Subcontinent (5)Originates In LanguageAllArabic (1)Sanskrit (6)Yiddish (1)Kind of ritualAllBirth and Naming Rites (7)Coming-of-Age and Initiation Rites (2)Marriage Rites (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 12AnnaprashanaHouseholders, those living in the worldAqiqahHouseholders, those living in the worldBirth BlessingHouseholders, those living in the worldChudakaranaHouseholders, those living in the worldCouvadeHouseholders, those living in the worldGuan Li and Ji Li (Capping and Hairpin Ceremonies)Householders, those living in the worldNamakaranaHouseholders, those living in the worldNaming CeremonyHouseholders, those living in the worldRitushuddhiHouseholders, those living in the worldUpanayanaHouseholders, those living in the worldUpsherinHouseholders, those living in the worldVivahaHouseholders, those living in the worldSources1.
