Ritual art is the art which awakens the ritual
dimension of the human psyche. Rituals used to be an
important part of any society; they gave people
practical and concrete means to expand their
consciousness and help them dealing with their everyday
lives. Such practices were an art in themselves that
contributed to the creativity of the human beings. In
addition, they were an important part of the collective
unconsciousness of people. Thus a kind of ritual
dimension of the psyche developed in every woman and
every man.
The modern world has forgotten these kinds of
rituals; many aspects of this dynamic reality are
hidden from us today.
The ritual art is based on ancient, archetypal
rituals but it does not re-enact them. It examines
scientifically, aesthetically and through
self-awareness creative processes of the psyche and the
body in their magical and timeless aspects. That is, it
works with the source of our creativity which exists in
our inner human root and reveals who we really are. It
shows to us our so-called “core”, our
source, our origin. In this sense, the ritual art is
focused on spiritual and creative development of the
artists and functions as an inspirational and healing
source for all the participants, both the artists and
the “active audience” of the ritual works
of art. This inspiration offers many possibilities of
integration into our everyday lives.
The ritual art is a dynamic and flexible art, which
awakens the collective ritual dimension of the human
psyche through different channels. It integrates
different art forms: performing arts, visual arts,
music, literature, etc; with psychomagical work. Hence,
the ritual art is a mean to break away from reality and
to achieve “conscious madness” in the
sense of growth and freedom.

How can we consciously become
“mad”?
Madness here means discovering and exploring our inner
magical essence. It means recognizing our inner God and
our inner Goddess and opening the door to different
levels and the worlds through this sacred source. It
means crossing the bridge between everyday life and the
Impossible.
The “conscious madness” was a way of
wisdom, and this is how the art, science and culture
had developed.Nahuals, shamans and
witches have been using the ritual dimension of the
Self since ancient times with the intention of creating
and expanding their reality. They used the physical
world to achieve “ conscious madness ”
with the aim of transporting people into other times
and transforming them into other
“voices”. The voices of their own deep
and pure Will.
Throughout history these “rituals of
madness” acquired dynamic performing qualities.
They had profound effects on the human psyche. They
were preparation for the rupture,
“disintegration” of reality, so that
every human being could experience and narrate life
with it?s unlimited various opportunities, with its new
physical time and intellectual, spiritual, liquid
memory.
This “training of madness” is a way to
discover and activate the personal ritual dimension of
the Self, the dimension of practicing dementia so that
we can start relying on our own intuition and creative
potential.
