Ritual Space and the Crooked Path Beyond

Atramentous Press
Ritual Space and the Crooked Path Beyond series discusses in some detail the thought that goes into constructing a ritual space. Whether it is for the purposes of reverence, working with the spirits, or meditation, the construction of a ritual space requires deliberation. Location, a ritual space’s situated constitution, the installation of artefacts, along with having a sense of belonging all coincide to enhance the allocation of a space where the line between physical and metaphysical can be divulged and discussed. Indeed, this is what the Ritual Space and the Crooked Path series attempts to do, and yet there is more to it than that, because underwriting this appraisal is the suggestion that all our actions when constructing a ritual space come from choices which are fundamentally crooked in nature. We arrive at this conclusion because a ritual space is not historically isolated from other ritual spaces that we may have encountered and experienced. Our interpretation, which is what a ritual space is, requires the practitioner to naturally deviate away into their own assemblage of fascinations and interests. Each space is accordingly made unique, and yet, underlying its construction is the individual expression of belief and practise which draws on countless and unconnected actualities.
