This paper investigates and compares two kinds of contemporary rituals: 1) the native (pagan, new spiritual movements) periodical rituals performed around equinoxes and solstices, and 2) occasional rituals performed by masters of new rituals. The aim of the paper is to re-evaluate and deconstruct these rituals using Hobsbawm and Ranger’s concept of invented tradition (1983) and studies of new religiosity/spirituality. The structure of ritual, text and presentation settings of four ritual masters of different world views are highlighted, aimed at mapping the similarities and the differences between these religious and spiritual phenomena. Part of the rituals under investigation were dedicated primarily to solstices and astronomical bodies, or their text reflected interconnections of celestial bodies and human culture.
