Rituals — even symbolic ones — help with:
✔ Emotional grounding
Your brain calms down when your actions have structure.
✔ Sense-making
When you perform a ritual, you feel like you’re “doing something” instead of drowning in chaos.
✔ Closure
Symbolic actions help people move forward.
✔ Intention clarity
You speak your truth more clearly when you understand it yourself.
This is why Prof. Sibanda’s love spell folklore resonates so deeply.
