REVIVED RITUALS

Ritual is inspired by the rediscovery and re-embracing
of alternative or ancient practices, such as the
sacred geometry arising from nature, Raetic runes,
horoscopes, tarot cards, tattoos, meditation. Tattoo art
nods to the Fibonacci spirals as the basis for ink art,
underscoring the beliefs that this sacred geometry can
heal, restore vitality and health, and provide balance.

Our technology has leeched into our traditional rituals,
as computers and phones augment and aid our quest.
Modern day mystic practices incorporate technology
in the form of virtual wishing wells, online daily psychic
readings, or spirituality box memberships which present
monthly ritual guidance and supplies of crystals,
smudging sticks, and essential oils. Predictive text
prophecies from our phones metamorphize into their
own unique tarot card practice.

Self-care practices continue to be prevalent, morphing
into rituals and ceremonies, in their call to quiet and
calm. This desire for alignment and focus to underscore
mission statements brings ritual to team practices
at offi ces and groups. The art of seamlessly aligning
meetings and events with the moon cycles, the tracking
of Mercury’s retrogrades, or doing astrological charts
of any group, are more and more a common practice
of organizational culture.
