So, another post in this forum gave me the question of how others may think of the ideologies of sacrificial offerings. During blots, and other celebrations, what does the common heathen use to please the gods? I know many take to alcoholic beverages in offerings and I know of some who prefer to offer blood. I was wondering what people use for their offerings in general.
And on the topic, Have any of us used living offerings during celebrations or rituals? If so, what have you used? For an example, a couple Yules ago, my folk and I sacrificed a pig for feast. We did it in a very humane way, with as little suffering dealt to the beast as possible.
Sorry if I'm over stepping a forum rule within this post. I am not asking for gory recollections from any live offerings. I am wondering how many of us have actually taken a part in some type of living sacrifice. I, in no way, am glorifying or recommending any to go to a local pet store in search of a small animal to kill.
