Ritualcide

Ritualcide is the systematic destruction or alteration of traditional ritual practices, described across five ritual domains common to many cultures: birth, illness, courtship, marriage and death, including obligations to ancestors. These rituals normally follow a prescribed form, source and sequence involving sacred objects, places, times, music, dance, texts and mediators such as monks, spirit mediums or traditional healers, and ritualcide names the deliberate interruption of that inherited structure.
