Heidhin wants to sacrifice a Roman prisoner. Wael-Edh, the sybil, responds:
"'I have spent this while mutely calling on Niaerdh. Does she want yon blood or no? She has given me no sign. I believe that means no.'" (p. 500)
I agree. The goddess does not want blood or anything else either because she does not exist! But, even if she did exist, then why should she want blood? She would surely answer, "No." Lynx and Auri end blood sacrifice in The Corridors Of Time.
A Mormon advised me to pray. The outcome of that advice is recorded here.
The only honest prayer that I can offer is here.
It is getting late and that can make posting a little strange...

Demonstrably, ancient Gods -did- want blood -- or their worshippers thought so.
Kaor, Paul!
Besides what Stirling said above I only have to point out how pagan gods like Moloch and the truly hideous gods of the Aztecs were believed by their worshipers to demand oceans of human blood.
Ad astra! Sean
