Ritual Cannibalism, Witchcraft and the Christian Eucharist

Ritual Cannibalism, Witchcraft and the Christian Eucharist

by

John Thomas Didymus

The association of witchcraft with cannibalism, especially the killing and eating of the flesh of infants, is an almost universal one. It would appear that infant cannibalism, in magical-religious ritual, had its origin in the dualistic philosophy of the female dominated spirit possession fertility cults of prehistory. Specialists in prehistoric cultures have noticed the prominence of women in prehistoric societies, in contrast with historic societies. There is significant evidence that prehistoric fertility cults were mostly officiated by women priestesses.
