Although several illuminating monographs have appeared, scholars seem to struggle with methodology and with developing fruitful theoretical models and conceptual frameworks that are congenial with the study material itself. By using the «Uppsala school» as her main reference, the author discusses the shortcomings of a mainly deductive analytic approach, i.e., the application of preselected theoretical frameworks to a number of different cases, as well as the limitations of having to choose between so-called constructionist and essentialist gender theories. Alternatively, the author argues for an inductive, multi-level analytic approach, and presents four main theoretical programs and feminist schools as relevant for the study of feminist liturgy and ritualizing women.

The ritual process attempts at destabilizing the Western theory of subjectivity as alienation and never-successful re-connection. As such, it rehearses a performative structure of sociability that intrinsically is non-sacrificial, thus welcoming the perception of the smallest feast possible as the conscious meeting and greeting between two. The chapter then discusses how a feminist version of contemporary, neopagan Witchcraft can add to the gendered field of religion and the environment as well as to feminist ritualizing in general precisely by reworking the concept and practice of initiation. Keywords: feminist; neopagan Witchcraft

These traditions have all made the 'dying and rising god' theme central to the rite.

This transdisciplinary and theoretically innovative volume emerged out of a workshop held at the Open University in London, organized as part of the international research project, “Reassembling Democracy: Ritual as Cultural Resource”, funded by the Norwegian Research Council and led by Jone Salomonsen. The seven research-led chapters presented here document entanglements of the religious and the secular in political assembly and iconoclastic protest, of affect and belonging in pilgrimage and church ritual, and politics and identity in performances of self and culture. Across the essays emerges a conception of ritual less as scripts for generating stability than as improvisational spaces and as catalysts for change.
