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.

A Russian Telegram channel with over 700,000 followers is spreading disinformation about Russia's invasion of Ukraine under the guise of providing "objective information" and fact-checking fake news. Its influence extends beyond the platform, with major Russian publications, government officials, and journalists citing the page's posts. Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram. For tech stocks, “the main thing is yields,” Essaye said. As a result, the pandemic saw many newcomers to Telegram, including prominent anti-vaccine activists who used the app's hands-off approach to share false information on shots, a study from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows. The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform.
