Rituals

It never came across my mind and I have never really thought about it this way. Meat has always been someone that I have always argued with because of the various differences that we have. One being, Black Metal, and another, being alternative religions, a more appropriate term would be traditional and HUMAN religions.

He would always criticize the rituals that a satanist, pagan, hermetism, and so on and so forth. When in fact, rituals are done in every day life, but since you are so accustomed to it, society has deemed it "normal". Something as simple as a daily walk is considered a ritual, while it can become more complex in the eyes of Muslims, which pray, if I am correct, seven times a day. Now, let's bring something that half the world can relate to, prayer, communion, baptism, and holy water being put on your head, I was born Christian, not Catholic. Anyways, back to something relevant to the subject that I was speaking of in the first place, all those things listed above are things that are required to be done everyday and some are once in awhile occasion. Like any other religion, there are certain times to do rituals, and certain materials that need to be utilize to evoke what you are attempting whether it be the blessing of a divine spirit to the guidance from the Void. Personally, I see water being placed on your head which is said to be "holy" equally stupid to screaming hail satan every ten minutes like what the LaVeyan Satanists. Anyways, if rituals of more logical religions were to be the staple of life then everybody would be laughing at the Abrahamic religions and Buddhist rituals that occur in their everyday life.

Overall, it's a simple, laugh at people not like you. If you took Anthropology or read anything regarding that subject you would soon find out that we are no better than anybody else despite technology, currency, and so on and so forth.
