Rituals

Read Leviticus 1-3

Leviticus 3:3 "And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the Lord; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,"

We encounter rituals so often, we may no longer notice them. Rituals might be seasonal, spiritual, or personal. Traditions often involve rituals.

We can use rituals to paint a scene, for instance if a town has certain rituals that our characters are part of. We can use rituals to establish conflict, for instance if a character is trying to avoid becoming a part of a community’s ritual. The story’s climax could be a showdown between those insisting on the rituals and the individuals resisting taking part.

We can use it when introducing a character, for instance if a character has certain rituals he must follow to function. Character growth could be showing he no longer needs his rituals.
