... If a dreamer sees a departed relative, the magician says oracularly, " He is hungry. " A beast is then killed as a quasi-sacrifice. The blood is carefully collected and placed in a vessel at the side of the hut, farthest from the door. The liver is hung up in the hut and must not be eaten, until all the flesh of the animal has been used. During the night the spirit is regaled and refreshed by the food thus provided, and eats or withdraws the essence that goes to feed and sustain spirits. Af...ter a specified time all may be eaten except the portions the magician orders to be burned ; generally bones and fat. ' Is not aU this simple human nature ? The man is disturbed by a repeated dream. He asks the priest. The priest says, ' the spirit is hungry, ' the fact being that he himself is hungry. He advises the killing of an animal. The essence of the animal goes to the spirit, the fat and bones are burnt, and the rest is eaten by the hungry priest and his friend, who, after a good feast, has probably another terrible dream, and thus provides fresh employment to the priest.
