The prospect of living through momentous events with no archetypal pattern to follow, no ultimately grounded sense of propriety motivates the way of sacred rite. This way of being religious looks for divine archetypes to reenact ritually and re-present in ritual art, symbols and phrases to incorporate directly into awe-insoiring ritual, patterns of sacred rite, aesthetic and proprietary considerations, and persons who model the way of sacred rite--as well as rationales for sacred ritual as a means to at-onement with ultimate reality.
