The Blood Sacrifice: os
The Solomon Islander believes in

Wizen -the spirits of these ancestors
demand the heads of enemies, then
the men of-the'Solomons obey. Lust'

When e Solomon ,Islander set

spirit of the enemy resides In the
head and that if he`pOesesses that
head he can •Iteee , the spirit within

Then, on certain of the isles of this
large group, the idea 1s common taht
the enemies may the heads 'ofY be of-

the rain may not fall too abundantly
