Mystic cults in Magna Graecia / edited by Giovanni Casadio and Patricia A. Johnston

by Giovanni Casadio, Patricia Johnston

Combining Transits and The Society of Simulcra, this work explores ritual thinking as a bridge between the sacred and the profane. It analyses how modern behaviours function as rituals to help individuals navigate the impenetrable and opaque complexities of human experience.
