Similar activities can take place in a religious or occult setting whereby the performance becomes a ritualA ritual is a formalised, predetermined set of symbolic actions generally performed in a particular environment at a regular, recurring interval. The set of actions that comprise a ritual often include, but are not limited to, such things as recitation, s. In a scientific setting, the carrying out of predetermined actionA primary concern of the theory of action in philosophy is to demarcate actions from other doings.
