520 |a This paper begins with the observation that rituals are emotionally laden activities, and that the rituals of local Hindu traditions in Tamil Nadu (South India) are no exception. Surveying the ritual devoted to a violent goddess of this tradition, the author addresses the semantics of the emotions that are shaped and aroused during it, and asks how they are managed. It appears that both negative and positive emotions are of decisive importance for the ritual's success. The essay closes with the thesis that in rituals for violent goddesses emotional rules are meant to be violated.
