ritual before belief. i think it's fun & cathartic to participate in ritual practises, especially ones unattached to real institutions (that probably suck). doing a little sacrifice or whatever is not going to beckon supernatural intervention in your affairs, but the practical effects of expressing desires/priorities gives you direction and hanging out with community or friends while you do this is good. i'll even humor abrahamic stuff as long as its well-meaning and not covenant-y (grace at the table-si, communion-no)
