do correct me if im wrong, but afaik the human sacrifice stories are iether completely made up or greatly exaggerated by christian, roman and or muslim missionaries, where the accounts served as propaganda to justify conversion and oher colonial activities
Nah, there was a big thing with sacrifices for Kali or Mara I think back in the 90s or early 2k. Lots a deaths.. People can get freaky when it comes to fanatical beliefs.
Edit: For those looking to join random death cults, please remember that when it comes to sacrifices, if the head of the cult isn’t the first to go, it’s a scam. And if the head of the cult isn’t enough, continue downward through the hierarchy. The most devout make for the greatest sacrifice.
But Kali is not european paganism, nor are the 90s and 2000s quite considered historical in that sense yet.
If we did this shit in the modern age when we are much more connected and aware of each other, we did it millennia ago when we were isolated and warmongering. And people are the same everywhere, no matter how much we like to argue about cultural differences.
Please provide evidence of pre-christian european religious practices around human sacrifice or pack up your constructed BS.
Honestly, your way of reaching a conclusion is so far from scientific, it reaches astrology levels.

I’m not sure about sacrifices but cannibalism was wide spread. Often as part of burial rites. But crusaders also ate people when they were desperate so…

fun fact: cannibalism was so widespread we invented a modern religion based on it
