Wikidata:Property proposal/ritual object - Wikidata

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Generic

I am working on importing elements of the Survey of Scottish Witchcraft database (1563 to 1736) with data science students this semester and there is good information on the types of ritual objects recorded in the case investigations for the accused witches in the database (corpse powder, mole's feet, cats, garlic, cheese, toads, snake's skin etc.). The motivation therefore is that there is a gap in that Wikidata could model the ritual and ceremonial objects in a number of different rites and ceremonies as covered in the Britannic page which would serve historic datasets like this one but equally could also serve modern instances.
