What's the value of a principle? If the aim is about the principle, then the aim also may be about the practice. Principle and practice. I would suggest that's the principle point and aim - pun intended for the point. Ha ha
Certainly. There are many patron gods of archery, such as Apollo and Artemis, Diana, Ullr, etc. Practicing archery can be dedicated to them, the effort itself is a kind of offering, the practice is then done in their honor. And that's just a polytheistic standpoint. Really, any practice can be spiritual and ritualistic if it means something to you, appeals to your inner being, etc.
Music too among other things. It's cool ... To apply a type of dedication to a practice ... You know umm religiously.
