    Great Rite is surrounded by many misconceptions. The Great Rite is not a ritualist orgy shindig‚ it is not vulgar in any way‚ and most importantly it is not shameful in any way. It is not a celebration of the Devil‚ which is impossible since Witches don’t even acknowledge the existence of the Devil‚ and it is not in any way connected to the Black Mass. All of these miconceptions are perpetrated through movies‚ television‚ and popular novels. Another misunderstanding concerning the Great Rite is that

    thought this dancing style was weird or odd because it was like nothing they had seen before. While watching the rite of spring‚ I did not feel that it was a classical modern dance style. I feel that classical modern dance is not as intense as the rite of spring was in this video.
