In the Buddhist tradition I studied in, there are spiritual beings but there is no ritual associated with them. There are purification rituals used to 'cleanse' the meditation hall, for example, but not many people know about these and it's not taught to everyone like meditation.


When in metta we say 'may all beings be happy', spiritual beings are included in such a wish, but if a person does not believe in such beings, doesn't matter, it only matters if they have metta rising through them, and if they extend it with a wish for universal happiness.
