Why Do Africa Traditionalist Sacrifice Animal Blood? by vaxx: 1:32pm On Nov 23, 2017 |
It is widely known that orisha rituals sometimes consist of the sacrificing of animals. The animals are usually eaten by the attendees at the ceremony, while the blood is ceremonially put on sacred objects. This intricate and symbolic ritual's first emphasis is to feed the community. The formal sacrifice of the animal is primarily as a ceremonial "thank you" to the animal for sacrificing its life so that people can eat. Europoids kill far more animals than Africans because their diet consists of much more meat; they just don't have the respect for the animal to have a ceremony where they thank the animal for its sacrifice. The use of the animal's blood in IFA spirituality is symbolic. Some get confused by this and think the blood is the actual carrier of asé(authority) because it is so emphasized in the rituals. Animal blood does NOT carry any magical asé to solve your problems. It is SYMBOLIC of the essence of one's own blood, which fuels the body. You die when you lose too much blood. The proper circulation of blood thru your body gives you the energy to accomplish your goals. Thus, blood is symbolic of asé itself, the power to do. However, this is referring to blood that is living within you, not to the dead blood of a sacrificed animal, which is only symbolic of your blood. 3 Likes 2 Shares

Mynd44:no sir , Christianity emphasized on purification of the soul which animal blood can not offer except Jesus which has the purified blood. "Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins." (Hebrews 9:14) 2 Likes 1 Share |

Mynd44:Why won't you talk about your Islam since you do blood sacrifice several times in a year? What brought Christianity to this? Thank God i'm a Christian, for, there must be something about Christianity to keep your people so jittery and agitated. |

vaxx: God does not accept human sacrifice... Only animal..that is the purpose of the story of Abraham and Issac.. When the Jews where offering their children to Moloch, God called it an abomination and punished them for it.. He said it never crossed his mind, human sacrifice is appalling and abominable to God... Jesus sacrifice is an invention to mock the God on high.. 1 Like |

analize701: Will create it soon, The Jesus story is a Roman invention..all the delegates at the council of Nicea where all Romans and Greeks.. The gospel themselves comes from ancient stories about Marduk.. Check the names in the old testament and the new testament! They are different.. Christianity was a cult of the "queen of heaven" mentioned in Jerimiah 7:10-20.. It was only rebranded and renamed Christianity.. Mary is the queen of heaven, ask any catholic, ..one of her title is also " the morning star" which means she is also Lucifer (the light bearer)....she is inanna,Aphrodite,Venus,Shiva,Ishtar..etc The romans just edited the stories and gave it Jewish settings... 1 Like |
