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.

Overview
What Defines This Grouping
Set rites whose content is a period of meditation performed in a prescribed form on a prescribed occasion, as distinct from meditation kept as a standing personal discipline, which the atlas treats as a practice. The line between the two is this classification's own and is not one the traditions draw. 2

The meditative rituals

This small group holds a meditative ritual, a ceremonial form of contemplative practice, in which meditation is framed and structured as a rite rather than practised informally.

The browser will find the ritual the atlas classes here. The entry describes its form and aim, noting the tradition in which it is performed.
