For some religions, myth is an essential component to a ritual. Especially for those of us who are polytheistic and worship the deities of pantheons like Celtic, Norse, Hellenic, Vedic, etc, the myths that surround our God/desses are looked to when planning a ritual. For me, following an ADF Druidic path, the myths/histories are intertwined through the ritual as we honor our Kindred.

Because all religions have rituals and almost all Myth pertain to God's or Goddesses.

Because myths tell us how to perform rituals.
