Sarjam05 said:Dogs are sacrificed to Ogun; sometimes chicken. Other African Traditional Gods accept various types of animals where the blood is used for efficacy and as energy. Why then does the JOS condemn sacrificing animals to Gods? I want to do a ritual to Ogun and Oshun; how would I do it without doing the animal sacrifice?
The matter of blood sacrifices is largely covered in Pagan religions and written of by the enemy. As with anything, the enemy has heavily projected their goals and ends onto the Pagans, answering their own "straw man argument".
A strawman argument is to answer your own argument that the other party never made, or speak about something in retaliation the other party never said or done.
In the case of the enemy, this is purposefully done to defame their enemies [the non-jews and others] while they engage copiously in all that they claim they do not.
Even in the time of the Old Testament, where jews are gloating about "burnt offerings" and so on, human or animal sacrifice just for the sake of sacrificing the animal was considered a fall of culture, crude and brutal. The jews did it anyway, ranking themselves into the religions and cultures of the crude, the retarded and the poorly spiritually educated.
Jehovah literally commands for these sacrifices to take place "in his name" just for the sake of that command and nothing else.
Our Gods do not accept this sacrifice of "killing" just to "kill", and killing animals en masse only to "appease" the Gods.
Here again, we are in reverse.
In fact, this is the most stupid thing one can do to "please" the Gods. This practice, even today in some villages in India where they do rampant blood rituals with killing animals for death spells is abhorrent to the Gods.
In inferior cultures and in reptilian affected ones, human or animal sacrifice to "appease" a reptilian or hostile entity frequently presents itself. These "beings" require even the killing of human infants and other things, which are anti-life, and have no logical or other consistency to happen.
Even in the above cases of the very late Mayan's etc, there is not that much information to give a certain credit to the fact that these actions happened. Sacrifices of humans to the reptilians probably have happened, but it looks like these happened briefly around the time peak of the enemy.
The enemy, who constantly speaks against "Pagan Sacrifices" which never have occurred or are all standing in loose information grounds - they are themselves doing copious blood and murder rituals of innocent animals - without the case of eating them.
The Jewish festivals of Kapparot and Eid Had of the Muslims, are blood sacrifice festivals. The Kapparot is a mass murder of many chickens that will not be eaten by jews, where the Chickens are read prayers that supposedly "transfer" negative energy from jews onto the chickens. Then, the chicken is slaughtered and not eaten, but thrown out [or sold to Gentiles, because the meat is considered defiled and the "goy" can eat it, but the jew cannot].

For Muslims, the Eid Al-Hada festival is where the irrational and unnecessary killing of Camels, goats, sheep, cattle, and anything living besides human takes place. Every household has to slaughter some of it's livestock in "Allah's Honor" [clearly, to feed the egregore and nothing much else].
In regards to "why" this has to happen, this is because a Hebrew Angel said so, and this tradition begun with the Jewish "Abraham". Of course, this started with Abraham being commanded to sacrifice a human that was his son, but then "god" changed his mind:
https://www.brandeis.edu/spiritual-life/resources/guide-to-observances/eid-al-adha.html
The Feast of Sacrifice dates from the historic event when Prophet Abraham was commanded by God, in a form of a dream vision, to sacrifice his son, Ishmail. But while he was in the act of sacrificing his son, God sent the Angel Gabriel with a huge ram. Gabriel informed Abraham that his dream vision was fulfilled and instructed him to sacrifice the ram as a ransom for his son. The story is mentioned in Chapter #37 of the Holy Qur'an.
It is also worthwhile to state, that when "Abraham" was trying to "Sacrifice his son", in the enemy lore, Satan appeared and tried to stop this sacrifice of the so called "human", for which Satan is blamed for trying to stop Abraham from doing a "honorary act" of killing his own son.
Satan calls them stupid and insane and prompts them to not kill their son and that this is stupid. Clearly, this is not a real event, but a myth but it also represents how much our side is against this practice, in contrast to the enemy's statements which have all their culture found in strange contracts that also involve killing of living life to appease these "strange gods" they have.
The source of this is the myth of mount Moriah Sacrifice, which is also sourced in the Joy of Satan website. These are the "religions" we are against...
It is true that there were "sacrifices" going that involved eating in Ancient Pagan civilizations and that is undeniable. Certain people have tried to deny this, but this is the reality of the matter.
Neither of the two instances of the enemy above happen for this reason, and the amount of mass killings is related to feeding thought-forms of the enemy. That is clear both through the "procedure" and the "cause" that these "sacrifices" do occur by both of these "major religions".
The reasons Pagans did it, were the opposite. The difference of conception in animal treatment in the Abrahamic Religions, is diametrically opposed to the Pagan conception of the subject.
Because these "Gods" they try to "appease" are clearly hostile entities, it is no wonder these beings live in poverty, retardation, evil and corruption. The so called "Old Testament" or "Torah" the jews follow, is the law of the jungle and nothing more than that. As for Muslims, they are stuck on the lowest level of consciousness one could be stuck into.
In Ancient Greece or in other religions of Pagans, this was however nothing of a "sacrifice" to "appease" anything. The level of advancement ranges. Cultures that did brainless or sacrificial killing "just for the sake of it" were considered un-advanced.
This perception stays strong in the times of the Romans and other cultures, even in present day India. When modern Hindus find certain "Blood Rituals" which kill animals for black magic etc, they are considered criminals and in many cases killed. The form of "Ritual Killing" for no reason or for reason of mere abuse, was also a crime punishable by death in Egypt.
The only allowed form of removing animal life was when there was a threat to human life, or when this was for reasons of food, products or sanitation.
For the Ancient Pagans like the Egyptians or the Greeks, it was merely a sanctification of the meat of an animal, blessing the soul of the sacrificed animal [because the animal died for the sake of being eaten by the village or the congregation of people - never pointlessly]. This practice was done several times per year, accompanied with other spiritual rituals.
As we know, in the Ancient Civilizations, animals were held in sacred and high regard. Therefore, the removal of animal life was seen as removing life from something very important, not just pointlessly. The Ancients were very sensitive to these matters.
Since they were sacred to the Gods, they were not to be killed mindlessly. Even when killed for human consumption, they had to be given proper litanies and blessings at least some times of the year.
In this type of Ritual, they also stated that "since the universe is as it is", that other beings must die so that others might get fed and live.
As they understood there is a price that incurred from this, they asked for "forgiveness" by the Gods, and to wash out the crime of this murder that happened due to natural necessity. Oftentimes, animals that were cared for and loved from families were used in these Rituals, and were only killed after their offspring had come in place and so on, so forth.
After the animal was killed, the Priest would see to that the soul of the animal is transported and reincarnated [this is why the Ancients took cattle preservation as holy] and then the rest of the food would be eaten by the village or stored for later use. This was done through the offspring of the animal or another from it's pack.
Because certain animals like Cows are very intelligent and they have a lot of consciousness, as the animal was going to be killed, they did all sorts of pleasing things to the animal such as decorating them, taking care of them, playing songs to them, and generally, anything that people thought would repay them for the animal losing their life to feed the people.
Rituals like this should show you how our Ancestors thought about this, and that only that they were not cannibals, but that they were sensitive and lofty people who understood the value of life and the laws of the universe quite well.
The violation of the animals free will, was also something the Ancients tried to avoid. While this might sound weird, the animal had to be appeased before they were sacrificed, and were not dragged around like a soulless creature about to be killed.
As we now are avid meat eaters, ancient civilizations did eat possibly half the amount of meat that we do. Clearly none of this can be avoided, but the reasons of feeding ourselves are entirely different from anything claimed to be "Sacrificial".
All of this happens in anyway for us to exist, and we have to co-exist with the other species. We are bound to consume them and this is healthy and the proper thing to do, but the best we do that, the better. Veganism and other things like this cannot be done by all people and can be deadly under many conditions.
The above however, seems to have been not the case for animals like Chicken or others who do not possess much consciousness, but especially the case for cows and rams, goat, sheep etc. You will never see a sacrifice like this taking place for a chicken. The same was not really done for fish, at least not that I have sufficiently studied into.
When there was supposed to be mass killing in farms, one had to also read prayers to gain the excuse of the Gods and to honor the souls of the animals that had to die in order to feed humanity. These were read in a broad manner, because for mass consumption, one cannot do much else. But this is better than nothing still.
All of farming in the Ancient world was also quite different. The crazy things you will see today like feeding hormones into pigs and making them four times the size, were not the case back then. Wildlife was also far more efficient in feeding people, such as wild boars and other animals that now are no longer in these numbers or have been domesticated.
Our world has changed and we have to adjust to today, but the case I make here on is that we do not forsake our loftier origins.
Lastly, in the most advanced levels of spiritual power and understanding that was the pinnacle of religions, the "outpouring" of life necessary can be done by humans to achieve any Ritual or objective.
One part of this is sexual magick. Other more elaborate methods can be dangerous, and not necessary. A very little part of one's own blood for a sigil or a working also suffices here.
We can "Sacrifice" and use our own energy and force to attain specific objectives. When humans know of this practice too and the truth of it, if they ever engage in any mindless practice [like us here and all the details this entails], this would infuriate the Gods even more than ignorant people or people in a remote village that wrongly do ancestral rituals in the wrong way which involve "blood sacrifice" due to ignorance.
When we know, our life changes behind us. We are no longer ignorant.
Therefore, one should stray away from these practices at all costs. Except of not necessary, one can find more creative and plentiful ways to have abundant natural energy for workings merely by mental directions, and without the loss of life of anyone.
If one is a butcher, or works in said factories etc, that is a job, and unrelated to the point of literal ritualistic killing. That is a job, not a ritual.
Furthermore, we divide the killings in 3 categories:
1. Ritualistic killing to "appease" and "please" a God, just for the "sake of them". That is a red flag that you are dealing with brutes, reptilians, inferior cultures, and jews. That is forbidden.
2. Killing animals for the sake of food and feeding, doing proper sanctification ritual [this no longer happens in modern civilization], which should be acceptable, but no longer occurs because of no organized culture.
3. The necessary form of killing which is to eat animals in butcheries etc. This is acceptable because it's part of the time we go through now, but it must be improved in the future.
As our culture takes over, we must show more respect to the living beings that have to die and do our best to accommodate ourselves and balance out this equation of life in a harmonious manner.
The higher one is advanced and when they know about Chakras, Chanting etc, all of this can raise energy that is not only clean and viable, but proper and strong to work magick. Inferior practices are not required to appease any "God", and if any "God" asks for any "blood sacrifice", that is not a real "god" speaking to anyone.
Lastly, to honor deities, one can do the means ascribed in JoS: giving energy, doing some beautiful artwork for them, or in cases devoting important things to them. Other ways one connects to deities is by meditation, planting vegetation or growing life for them, or creating important works.
The outpouring of life needs not be based on death, but based on the increase of life. No real God has a need for other living beings to die for "their" sake. If any entity asks of this, they are not worthy of any real sacrifice.
