...is a nice (annual?) blood offering ceremony.
All around meso-america, stelea have been found belonging to most major pre-colonial cultures, depicting high-ranked people performing blood sacrifices upon themselves. Men would pierce their peni with sting ray spines and / or bone awls, and women would pull a thorned rope through their tongues. :) This would also lead to a trance in which the person in question could communicate with the spirits of the ancestors.
Now why can't we have anything like that anymore? :(
