Sacred Blood

About this ebook
In this essay the importance of blood in religion is explored. From the ancient Norse to Mesoamerica and modern day Manhattan, blood has always been with us, and it has always been revered as something sacred. Blood has been used ritualistically in nearly every religion, some rituals even surviving into the present day.
The focus of this essay is on the position that blood holds in Paganism, Judaism, and Christianity, and the similarities between them. The author forgoes some of the more obvious details for the more interesting, lesser known aspects of these religious heritages.
