But what does
sacrifice mean in this context? In the real world, a sacrifice is, for example, cutting an animal's throat, or burning hell money, or throwing gold into the ocean, or entering into combat without the normal armor and thus offering your life if the god wants it, or inviting a loa to ride you while you drink clairin or smoke cigars. There's a physical process that results in the destruction of a physical thing. What sort of physical ritual are you envisioning as producing the grant of permanent divine favor?
