Human sacrifice in Africa
• Superstitious Folly
Before human sacrifice, a notice is usually given, couched thus: "Anybody whose goat, sheep, or fowl is missing, should look for it, but if human being is missing do not look for him or her". At this point people who understand the parable begin to be careful about late-night movements because the blood mongers will be on the prowl, seeking who to use for the awful sacrifice.
