Of Quartz‚ it’s a Crystal Ritual John Berger (n.d.) once said‚ “That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone‚ that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would leave us to believe”.

Nacirema When I read Body Rituals Among the Nacirema by Horace Miner the first time‚ I couldn’t imagine how a culture could behave this way and live their daily lives following these rituals. They believed that their bodies were ugly and its natural tendency was to debility and disease. They devoted much of their time trying to prevent these characteristics After observing the Nacirema customs‚ I found it to be crazy that they had shrines with a box or chest built into the wall full of magic

In addition to The Age of Feudalism
