Rituals, like recipes, can be passed down in various ways. Orally, from parent to child. By putting them in writing. Or through the mind, which is infinite.
If you have two people make a dish from the same recipe with the same ingredients, it can still happen that the dishes don't taste exactly the same. This is due to two things: Intent and Inspiration. Now, the art of sharing old recipes and rituals in an authentic and fresh way with the world today can only happen when we are silent and genuinely listen when we receive them. Whether orally, in writing, or in the mind, through guides, guardian angels, cohabitants, spiritual teachers, or Life itself.
