8. RITUALS: Handshakes, Holidays & Rites of Passage
 From
the mundane to the magical, rituals help guide us through the transitions
of life. Whenever we attend a wedding or funeral, light the candles on
a menorah or birthday cake, or greet our friends at the pub, the office,
or the church, we're engaging in a familiar and comforting sequence of
actions that remind us of who we are, what we value, and where we belong.
If you incorporate such familiar and time-tested rituals into your Web community, you'll help your members feel at home. By reflecting seasonal changes, celebrating holidays, and acknowledging personal milestones, you'll be laying the foundation for a true online culture In This Chapter The Power of Ritual
