Why Sacrifice?
Part 1

Sometimes folk ask why Gods, Ancestors & Spirits of the Land need sacrifice? After all, if they are ethereal spirits in another realm, why give them food and drink?

Let's examine the Spirits of the Land & Sacrifice.

It is a material biological fact that nutrients in the soil are ingested by the roots to form the fruits of the plant. Nutrients are not infinite, and if nutrients aren't given back, the soil will become barren in a few short generations.

Some recent developments in agricultural studies support giving back nutrients through sacrifice.

In this example, they offer sugar, spread it around the fields, which increases the eletrical conductivity of the soil. This increased conductivity is a consequence of microbial life spreading around the nutrients.

If you give to the soil, the soil will give back to you. A gift for gift. And isn't that what sacrifice and building a bond with the Spirits of the Land is all about?

Our ancestors weren't liars. They knew more than we know.
