Commensalités pour les morts et les saints by Magali Demanget

“…If these convivial ritual gatherings participate in common with the Cult of the Dead and that of the Saints, then this would seem to imply that both cults have their own relationship with non-humans, with the type of sacrifice this entails, together with the status of the animal eaten at the shared meal. These common practices lead back to the frontier between two ritual spheres : that of the Church, where the pretentious festivities are characterized by ostentatiousness ; and that more subterranean aspect of Shamanism, where the rituals of healing and oblations play their part in the agricultural life, in averting misfortune, and in curing the afflictions of the body.…”
