We rarely think about these ordinary repetitions. Yet over time, they become part of the architecture of our lives. In Rituals: The Quiet Things That Shape Our Lives, psychotherapist and author Dr. Richard L. Travis explores the often-unnoticed practices ...

Chantal Frei (pseudonym) who grew up in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, was only six years old when Satanists decided to make her into a Mother of Darkness.
