Heart Rip

Details

The most dark and taboo of traditions in Nagualism long retired; the Nahuatl practice of capturing the most beautiful of enemy soldiers; he shall be trained, educated and made into the vessel of a god. For one year he shall remain a vessel and enjoy all the gifts and frivolities life and this earth can give; on his final day a priest will rip out his heart and offer it to Lord Tezcatlipoca to begin a new cycle and bring about change for an entire community. Due to its political abuse and warfare abuse even long before European arrival, the tradition has been laid to rest. Part of the Nagualism-Spellbook series featuring four indigenous Southwest American & Central American traditions some left to the past while others still practiced today.
