This study explores the creative aspects of creating new rituals and what it tells us about humans as cultural beings. It focuses on individual stories from participants who through interviews and questionnaires have told their experiences of creating or re-shaping rituals for individual purposes. Emphasis is on the practical shaping of the ritual and the participants thoughts on it.The results points to the creating of new rituals as experimenting and as a creative expression. With theories and prior research in ritual psychology, phenomenology and ritual criticism the study shows how individual stories of creation show worldviews and phenomenon through ritualization.
