| ARTICLES RELATED TO ritualistic | | | |  ritualistic: Encyclopedia II - Mummy - Mummies in recent timesMummies have been an object of intense interest in the West since archaeologists began finding them in large numbers. 19th-century aristocrats would often entertain themselves by buying mummies, having them unwrapped, and holding observation sessions. These sessions destroyed several mummies, because the exposure to the air caused them to disintegrate.
In the 1830s Jeremy Bentham, the founder of utilitarianism, left instructions to be followed upon his death which led to the creation of a sort of modern-day mummy. He asked that his bo ...

| | | | | | ritualistic: Encyclopedia II - Game - Definition Although many animals play, only humans confirmably have games. Whether some animals are intelligent enough to game is debatable, though a game has ritualistic elements (such as rules and procedures) that are voluntarily acted upon, rather than as a result of instinct. The existence of rules and criteria that decide the outcome of games imply that games require intelligence of a significant degree of sophistication.
Non-human animal species may, however, engage in games whose rules and sophistication may be of such a nature as to be i ...

| | | | | | ritualistic: Encyclopedia II - Tzompantli - Association and meaning Apart from their use to display the skulls of ritualistically-executed war captives, tzompantli often occur in the contexts of Mesoamerican ballcourts, which were widespread throughout the region's civilizations and sites. In these contexts it appears that the tzompantli was used to display the losers' heads of this often highly-ritualised game. Not all games resulted in this outcome, however, and for those that did it is surmised that these participants were often notable captives. Tollan, the former Toltec capital, has a well-pres ...

| | | | | | ritualistic: Encyclopedia II - Child murder - Killing by family members vs. killing by strangers Most murderers of children are relatives, acquaintances or caretakers. Younger children are more likely to be murdered by a relative while older children (15-17) are killed most often by acquaintances, which would include guardians, caretakers, etc.
Children have been sacrificed ritualistically in Incan ceremonies and in a few other locations, but it is not a universally sanctioned practice by any means.
In modern times, the killing of children is often closely related to instances of prolonged periods of child abuse. Some vict ...

| | | | | ritualistic: Encyclopedia II - Cargo cult - References in art and design Peter Marigold concieved a Cargo Cult for one of his recent projects at the Royal College of Art in London. In his narrative, "a more recent occurrence of this type of behavior took place in 1979 when the Taiwanese ship Lunchaun, carrying a large cargo of electrical components, capsized in the Polynesian ocean. Much of its dumped cargo was plundered by the local islanders, and objects were fashioned from the found debris, some utilitarian, some ritualistic. Most interestingly many of them appear to have been intended as simple but powerful e ...

| | | | | ritualistic: Encyclopedia II - The Golden Bough - Critical analysis of The Golden Bough The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein returned time and again to The Golden Bough, often enough that his commentaries have been compiled as "Remarks on Frazer's Golden Bough," edited by Rush Rhees, and originally published in 1967, with the English edition following in 1971. [1].
Some modern criticism sets Frazer in a broader context of the history of ideas:

| | | | | ritualistic: Encyclopedia II - Sex magic - Practice This branch of magick takes many forms but always involves a preparation of a proper and sacred atmosphere (as with other magick), pre-cleansing of the body and mind, banishment of evil prior to beginning the ritual, focusing upon the ritual/outcome, climax, post-ritual celebration and giving thanks and praise to the goddess and god figures.
Sex magick can be practiced solo, as a couple or as a group. One particularly interesting form of ritualistic sex magick is based upon the polyandry concept of one female having sexual relations w ...

| | | | | ritualistic: Encyclopedia II - Rigveda - More recent Indian views Generally speaking, the Indian perception of the Rig-Veda has moved away from the original ritualistic content to a more symbolic or mystical interpretation. For example, instances of animal sacrifice are not seen as literal slaughtering but as transcendental processes. The Rigvedic view is seen to consider the universe to be infinite in size, dividing knowledge into two categories: lower (related to objects, beset with paradoxes) and higher (related to the perceiving subject, free of paradoxes). Swami Dayananda, who started the Arya Samaj and Sri Aurobindo have emphasized ...

| | | | | ritualistic: Encyclopedia II - Vedanta - Transition from Vedic to Vedantic religion While the traditional Vedic 'karma kanda', or ritualistic components of religion, continued to be practiced through the Brahmins as meditative and propitiatory rites to guide society to self-knowledge, more jnana- or knowledge-centered understandings began to emerge. These were mystical streams of Vedic religion that focused on meditation, self-discipline and spiritual connectivity rather than on rituals.
Etymologically, veda means "knowledge" and anta means "end", so the literal meaning of the term "Vedānta" is "the en ...

The story begins on a cold New York night, when Lucas, in a possessed trance, stabs a man to death in the restroom of an East Side diner and then flees the scene in confusion.

Pai Gow - The set-up.
Tiles are randomized on the table, and are stacked into eight stacks of four tiles each. This assembly is known as the woodpile. Various ritualistic "shuffles" are made, rearranging the tiles in the woodpile in standard ways that result in a new woodpile. Bets are then made.
Next, each player (including the dealer) is given four tiles with which to make two hands of two tiles each. The hand with the lower value is called the front hand, and the hand with the higher value ...

Heimaey - Oldest tales.
In Landnáma it is said that when Ingólfur Arnarson, the first settler in Iceland had spent a winter at Ingólfshöfði, and went west in search of his "Öndvegissúlur" (somewhat like Totem poles, that were ritualistically dumped into the sea and let float to shore. Where they came ashore, there the viking in question would build his farm.), and found upon Hjörleifshöfði his brother, Hjörleifur, dead and his slaves missing. Out at sea he could see boats going towards a small group of islands, ...

| | | | | | ritualistic: Encyclopedia II - Freemasonry - History of Freemasonry The origins of Freemasonry are unknown. The Masonic ritual claims that the fraternity was founded by the workmen who built King Solomon’s Temple but there is no documentary basis for this claim, and Freemasons themselves will admit that this ritualistic foundation myth is allegorical rather than factual. Beyond mythology, there is a distinct absence of documentation as to Freemasonry’s origins, which has led to a great deal of speculation among historians, both from within and from outside the fraternity. Hundreds of books have been writ ...

| | | | | ritualistic: Encyclopedia II - Aztec Entheogenic Complex - Sinicuichi Not much is known of the use of sinicuichi (alternate spelling sinicuiche) among the Aztecs. R. Gordon Wasson identified the flower on the statue of Xochipilli and suggested that from its placement with other entheogens that it probably used in a ritualistic context among the Aztecs. Multiple alkaloids have been isolated from the plant; with cryogenine, lythrine, nesodine being the most important.
Sinicuichi could be the plant tonatiuh yxiuh from the Aztec Herbal of 1552. The tonatiuh prefix refers to the sun. This is in ...
