Join me as we delve into the fascinating and complex world of sacrifice, and particularly human sacrifice, within IndoEuropean cultures in this enlightening video. We explore the multifaceted aspects of sacrifice, from its symbolic importance in restoring cosmic order and renewal to its functional role in reinforcing social cohesion and power structures.

In this journey through ancient practices, we uncover the unique relationship between sacrifice and the creation myths of IndoEuropean cultures. We draw parallels with the primordial beings Yemo, Ymir, Gayōmart, Yama, or Yima, and reveal how these stories intertwine with the concepts of sacrifice.

This video discusses the critical yet often overlooked perspectives on sacrifice, examining how these practices could have reinforced social hierarchies and gender roles. We also ponder the psychological impact of sacrifice on individuals involved in these rituals, and how the evolution of societies led to the decline of such practices.

Most importantly, we reflect on the altruistic aspect of selfsacrifice and its relevance in our modern world, where the quest for order and balance often demands sacrifices of a different kind.

I would like to thank my dear friend ‪@Crowhag‬ for her contribution regarding the topic of sacrifice in Thracian culture.
