Thanks again for this series. This one seems to be of a piece with the previous week's comments, and hearkens back to the idea of the unchangeable nature of the gods. As I understand it, thus rituals do not move the gods, per se, but rather may bring us in communion with a portion of their divine light.

The sentence "human life wishes for communion with divine life" also, IMHO, connotes that longing of all things for "The Good," of which the gods are the prime representatives of.
