Rituals span across every country, every religion, and every group. 
No matter what you are a part of, there are going to be rituals and practices that you follow, sometimes without even realizing it. 
This week we follow the case of a man who wanted to perform an ancient ritual, one now banned in almost every civilized country. 
This week we cover the story of Tyree Lincoln Smith.
