This page groups rituals by who is qualified to perform them. 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.
