Well other than the fact that charms and blessings are pretty alien to lots of modern people. Other than crossing our fingers for luck we're not that big into everyday ritual. My parents never told me that I had to thank an animal for its sacrifice or that I had to thank a tree for its nuts. I think its much more circumscribed by ritual and belief than the modern world I'm most familiar with and would feel pretty alien to me.
