These animals are killed in all great ceremonies, at the conclusion of a medium's probation period, at birth, death, and funeral observances, and for other important events. If ahead-hunt is to be attempted, the gall sack is removed, and iscarefully examined, for if it is large and full, and the liquor init is bitter, the enemy will be powerless; but if the sack is small, and only partially filled with a weak liquor, it will fare ill withthe warriors who go into battle. For all other events, th...e liveritself gives the signs. When it is full and smooth, the omens arefavorable; but if it is pitted, has black specks on it, is wrinkled, or has cross lines on it, the spirits are ill-disposed, and theproject should be delayed. If, however, the matter is very urgent, another pig or a fowl may be offered in the hope that the attitudeof the spirits may be changed. If the liver of the new sacrifice isgood, the ceremony or raid may continue. The blood of these animalsis always mixed with rice, and is scattered about for the superiorbeings, but the flesh is cooked, and is consumed by the mortals.
