New post at Humanistic Paganism: Pagan ritual as an encounter with depth, part 1

Part 1 of my essay, “Pagan ritual as an encounter with depth”, is now up at Humanistic Paganism.

In Part 1 I discuss the following question: “When the purpose of ritual is to listen to the unconscious, how can we consciously create ritual?”  Then in Part 2, which will be posted next week, I answer the question, “How do you maintain connection to the unconscious after ritual is created?”
