What does ritual do? What is ultimate purposes for ritual? To answer these questions, I delineate transformation in three ways: how rituals transform participants, how participants transform rituals, and how change is mediated through rituals. Drawing upon the close relationship between rituals and transformation, I pursue transformational theories through rituals dealt with such multiple disciplines as anthropology, psychology, ritual studies, performance studies, philosophy, and liturgical studies. In addition I diagnose transformation and maturity occurred in rituals by comparing and analyzing what each discipline highlights regarding differences of rituals and transformation. The language of transformation in ritual is ultimately language about bodily action set apart in space and time for some purpose. The who, where, when, how, and why of the language of transformation cannot remain unaddressed if we are to discover old and new strategies for creating transformative ritual. In sum rituals are part of the fabric of individual and communal existence, one of the ways we know we are alive.
