"Ritual, as I have already indicated, is actually mythology acted out. Ritual is the response of the group to the myth and through it, the myth becomes a living part of each member of the group who participates in it. Undoubtedly this is one reason why, among the many sincere students of mythology, so few are really affected or changed by their study. The myth which becomes a living experience must be participated in. It must be shared in as it was in the Greek drama, in the Hopi snake dance, in the Navajo sand painting, or as in the ancient rites of Attis or the present day communion service."--Morton Kelsey
