+> Sin Eating:
+<blockquote>The term sin-eater refers to a person who, through ritual means, would take on by means of food and drink the sins of a household, often because of a recent death, thus absolving the soul and allowing that person to rest in peace. In anthropology, and the study of folklore, sin-eating is classified as apotropaic ritual[1] and a form of religious magic. [[wp>Sin-eater]] </blockquote>
