If you read the descriptions of all Grimmkins in Journal you can note that they describe what I belive is The Ritual itself. In their words it involves "feeding child" witch of course must be Grimchild since we feeding him Flames.

Other thing they mention is "burning father" (Grimm, doh) and "Burning away Nightmare King" witch happens if you defeat King - his death animation is beeing burned by flames from Nightmare Heart. And according to Grimm and members of Troupe it must be must be final stage of Ritual (Grumm gives his flame and says that it is for "Grimm final act".

And what Ritual is all about? My theory is that Ritual makes Grimchild new Grimm. Proof? White Lady when seeing fully grown Grimchild calls it "clan and master". So simply sayng looks like Ritual actualy is way for Grimm and his race of vampire like bugs to propagate.

And also ingame lore suggests that Grimm could not found out about Grumm rebelion agains Ritual sice it was formed in farthest and darkest reach of Kingdom -Distant Village. Brumm, the one who rebels aggains him, says that Grimm scarlet eyesight can't reach there.
