Vulcans seem to have always seen a value in maintaining traditions. Also certain rituals might be used to induce certain mental states. There is a tone which produces a feeling of awe in humans. Many religions employ an instrument which are capable of producing such tones. Maybe the rituals produce the proper mental states for the Vulcan mind transference procedure. I must admit the temple Virgins seemed out of place. -- Yehoyaqim Shemtob Martillo (An Equal Opportunity Offender)
