As distasteful as it may seem to many, space age technology and the ancient traditions of blood sacrifice can exist side by side very easily in the crazy quilt patterns of planet Earth. The February 1990 issue of Omni magazine’s “Explorations” section carried the following extraordinary quote from a self-confessed practitioner of human sacrifice: “If a person comprehends, if he’s really convinced, and has enough faith to carry out a human sacrifice, only then does good luck really come to him—cars, houses, everything.”

The 74-year-old Aymara Indian with the alias “Maximo Coa,” described without the slightest indication of guilt or remorse how he cut his victims’ throats, filled a crystal goblet with their blood, and presented it to the patron of the sacrifice—and, quite often, to his wife or girlfriend, as well. Proud of conducting at least 12 human sacrifices, Coa offers unique discourses on the Bible which he believes promises hidden knowledge.

Tragically, such an atavistic religious impulse remains unchecked in those who heed the summons of spirit parasites to shed the blood of their brothers and sisters in order to secure what the negative entities have deluded them into believing will attract the favor of the Old Gods. And sometimes human sacrifices are offered only in order to satisfy personal lust and greed.
