What elements of ritual liturgy are most important to you?

2012 Thing on Thursday #3

Liturgy is an important component of ritual.  Some traditions have elaborate orders of ritual, others prefer a more loose approach.

The point of this poll is to discover what elements of Pagan ritual liturgy appeal most to our readers.  Some of these elements may feature in your own tradition, others may be less familiar.

The following list will no doubt be biased in one way or another, and not include all elements vital to you, so please feel free to choose “other” and explain further in the comments.

Please choose as many as strongly appeal to you.

Please share your thoughts in the comments.

About Thing on Thursday

This post is part of a series of councils on matters vital to the future.  The name represents both the generic term for, you know, a thingie, as well as the Old Norse term for a council of elders: a Thing.

Each week from the Autumn Equinox until the Winter Solstice, Thing on Thursday explores a new controversy.  Participation is open to all – the more minds that come together, the better.  Those who have been vocal in the comments are as welcome as those quiet-but-devoted readers who have yet to venture a word.  We value all constructive opinions.

There are only a few rules:

• be constructive – this is a council, so treat it as such
• be respectful – no rants or flames

Comments will be taken into consideration as we determine the new direction of Humanistic Paganism.

So please make your voice heard in the comments!
