This paper argues the need to redress an imbalance in the analysis of ritual in which emphasis on symbolic content of performances has outweighed consideration of its stereo-typic and behavioural aspects. Claiming that the ritualization of behaviour has deeper roots than its symbolic elaborations, it seeks illumination from some of the work of Freud on obsessional and compulsive behaviour, and suggests some avenues for continuing analysis
