“Like the Ministering Angels”: Ritual and Purity in Early Jewish Mysticism and Magic
Students of religion are aware that the same ritual act can have many meanings depending on the cultural context.

| 520 | |a Students of religion are aware that the same ritual act can have many meanings depending on the cultural context. As Walter Kaelber observes, “Viewed cross-culturally, a given ascetic form may have different, even opposite objectives.” Accordingly, the same detail may have entirely opposite meanings in different ascetic regimens. Thus for the biblical Daniel and his ascetic heirs, beans were an ideal food, probably because they are dry and not susceptible to impurity; but for Pythagoreans and others, they were to be avoided perhaps because in certain Mediterranean populations, they presented an actual medical danger. These factors alert us to the principle that understanding a ritual system in its cultural context is vital. They also encourage us to read rituals and actions as we read texts-coding their creators' statements about what they value in a religious system and what they aspire to be. | ||
