A 15-year-old Indian girl was slain in a ritual sacrifice as an offering to the goddess Kali, reports Time.
Two hundred years ago such murders were common, but now Indian authorities say they have dwindled to one per month in the country, which now has a population of 1 billion.
The goddess Kali has a legendary lust for blood according to Indian mythology and sacrifices to her are believed to bring power and wealth to the supplicant.
In the United States stories of cult ritual sacrifices peaked in the late 1980s. However, this was based upon an urban mythology developed around tales of babies slain for Satan.
Some “experts” claimed that there was a vast hidden network of multi-generation “Satanic cults.” Many so-called “survivors” came forward to tell horrific accounts of abuse often based upon “repressed” or “recovered” memories.
But these cult stories were proven false. Unlike the ritual murders of India, the American version lacked objective physical evidence. Now the FBI and other law-enforcement officials readily admit the stories were unfounded. It appears “the devil was given more than his due.”
