Text: Animal sacrifice is central to American beliefs regarding longevity. At altars such as this one countless animals ranging from mice to monkeys are sacrificed in elaborate rituals which often involve some form of dismemberment. These sacrifices are said to provide the shamans with insights into the powers of Death, thus enabling them to overpower Death with their own forces. ©
