sacrifice for your sibling that was sick?
Blood sacrifices are still practiced, although not as commonly as in
the past. When a person is sick, an animal (chicken, goat, or pig)
may be killed. The life of the animal supposedly will redeem the
life of the person. When a new house is finished, two white
chickens are killed and the blood is sprinkled around inside the
house, as payment to the spirits who own the land the house is
built on.
