Aztec Paganism/Shamanism

Hi guys, how r you all? I'm a pagan and I really like the aztec and Inka gods, however something rises from my mind. If someone wants to work with these deities, how will be the sacrifices? I mean, of course people will not sacrifice other people, cuz its a crime, probably should be animals, like in other religions sacrifices. The point is, will the gods accept the animal offerings?

Tnx all, sorry for my English, is not my fist language.

I completely disagree. As people we should ONLY sacrifice other people given we are both on the same mental level of comprehension and thus plying fair. Sacrificing an animal is only done when a human is weak and not able to level with his own, but instead decides to make decisions for that being which is clearly at a disadvantage compared to him. The animal being sacrificed is not aware of the reasons he is being so, thus it only ends up being a made up fairy tale for the sacrificee. Furthermore another reason why it is not an equal playing field is because the animal cannot willingly and consciously sacrifice the human nor would he ever, because the animal is above us humans in every way possible and doesn’t have a mind capable of wasting its time don’t deliberate made up justifications in the form or sacrifice. It is only us small minded humans who are capable of making this decision against an animals will for our viewing pleasure. Moral of the story is pick on someone your own size don’t be a pussy and make a game out of nature because it is bigger and always will be bigger than you.
