Burnt sacrificial offerings are the common form of worship among those who practice the Venua Faith. While human life is considered sacred and the soul of the human being returns to the First God in its own time, animal lives are not part of the Great Oneness according to Venua belief; in this respect, it is similar to the M'acunist [[M%27acunism#Man_school|man school]]. Animals are killed and offered in fire to the First God as satiation; their lesser souls are thought to help feed the sun's fire. Additionally, the act of burning releases the "elemental fire" that adherents believe is within all animals. The elemental fire permeates the world; this release is believed to please the First God, given his temporary firey nature. | |||
