Pagan Rituals

"Light the candles, place the parchment paper in position. Between its leaves place the lash from a black cat's eye…"

The practice of ritualistic animal sacrifice was prevalent throughout the tribes of the ancient world. Performed as a way to offer tribute to the gods, the bodies of those animals deemed most appropriate were given up to the deity. Bulls and boars were often linked to warriors and the aristocracy, and played an important role in the mythology of the tribes, especially the Celts. The manner of sacrifice differed from tribe to tribe. There is written evidence from the Byzantine historian, Agathias of Myrina, that the Alamans decapitated their sacrifices, whereas others were thought to hang their offerings from sacred trees, allowing the blood to soak back in to the earth.
