I don't recall ever discussing "ritual" with you.

 I am suggesting, or rather sharing with you the information that HPB wrote the theosophical movement has no ritual. 
 
 For she wrote: 
 
 “Having neither dogma nor ritual – these two being but fetters, a material body which suffocates the soul – we do not employ the ‘ceremonial magic’ of the Western Kabalists; we know its dangers too well to have anything to do with it.” (1) 
  
  Is that clear?  "No ritual", I guess, is plain English.
  
  
  Best regards, Carlos. 
  
  
  
  NOTES:
  
  (1) “The Beacon of the Unknown”, a text published in “HPB Collected Writings”, TPH, India/USA, volume XI, see p. 266. The quotation is by the end of part IV in that text.
