The Journal of Ritual Studies

The Journal of Ritual Studies is an academic publication that explores the diverse practices, symbols, and cultural significance of rituals across various traditions and societies. It examines how rituals shape identity, social cohesion, and spiritual experiences, often through interdisciplinary research in anthropology, religion, history, and psychology. The journal aims to deepen understanding of ritual’s role in human life, both historically and in contemporary contexts, providing insights into why rituals are meaningful and how they influence individual and collective behavior.
