Big gods came after the rise of civilizations

(April 8, 2020 at 12:13 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: Again, while the distinction may make sense in other contexts, it doesn't in anthropological studies.  Distribution as we employ it is also a ritual.  Food production and distribution, in particular, ritualizes the entire cosmos around us, not just our daily lives.  Not just in-tot but down to the individual unit.

Farm chores, for example...-rituals.

Quote:In anthropology, rituals are actions with intentional symbolic meaning undertaken for a specific cultural purpose

Agriculture & trade for symbolic reasons?
Does this definition of 'ritual' include unblocking the toilet?
