The most well-known, such as “Bloody Mary”, have a strong element of danger, allowing kids to test the limits of their courage without the threat of actual injury. But what if the rituals actually worked? In Japanese culture, there are many such rituals that are thought to hold actual supernatural power- enough so that those describing them online and by word of mouth often caution strongly against trying them, or even knowing the details. But… you’re not superstitious, right? Surely knowing how these rituals are performed can bring you no harm, and if curiosity compels you to try one, we’re sure you’ll be completely safe. Of course, that doesn’t mean we have tried any of these ourselves, or ever would.

Rituals may be prescribed by the traditions of a community, including a religious community. Rituals are characterized by formalism, traditionalism, invariance, rule-governance, sacral symbolism, and performance. Rituals are a feature of all known human societies. They include not only the worship rites and sacraments of organized religions and cults, but also rites of passage, atonement and purification rites, oaths of allegiance, dedication ceremonies, coronations and presidential inaugurations, marriages and funerals, school "rush" traditions and graduations, club meetings, sporting events, Halloween parties, veterans parades, Christmas shopping and more. Many activities that are ostensibly performed for concrete purposes, such as jury trials, execution of criminals, and scientific symposia, are loaded with purely symbolic actions prescribed by regulations or tradition, and thus partly ritualistic in nature. Even common actions like hand-shaking and saying hello may be termed rituals.
