Socio-cultural studies have shown that human beings are conflict-prone and communal life is always characterized by conflicts between individuals or groups. Just as conflicts lead to divisions, violence, and wars, they have also led to the search for an institution of various methods of conflict resolution and transformation. One of the tools people use in resolving and transforming conflicts between conflicting parties is ritual. Ritual has been employed to bring about peace between par- ties since it is seen as a form of religious drama and system of communication to transmit a collec- tive message to the parties. Ritual taps into the core of people's perceptions and beliefs about their world and molds their beliefs into symbols. Ritual uses these symbols to communicate and actions to recreate and transform the world, especially, the world of conflict. Ritual in conflict resolution and transformation regulates relationships between individuals, groups, and communities, and serves as a way of defining identity and means of relating to and rebuilding peace-bridges between parties. The Igbo people adopt various methods in the resolution and transformation of conflicts. In any method employed, ritual-actions are at the centre. This paper is an attempt to explore the central role of ritual and posit it as an effective tool in conflict resolution in Igboland.
