Dynion Mwyn Rituals help them connect with the Great Mysteries of existence, but these Mysteries exist whether you perform rituals or not. Keep in mind that rituals exist for the members first, just as a television is a gateway for you to connect with the world --- the world will exist anyway, the news programs shown in your living room will be there whether you turn on the set or not, but the television itself helps you to connect. And likewise, your viewing keeps the shows on the air. But, by yourselves, they do not rely on your individual televisions. So also it is in religion: the gods will still be there, whether you dance in circle or not. The circle is your way to connect with them.
