They eat babies. Deformed babies are used to make powerful talisman and spells, they are often sacrificed warding off their enemies and also in blood rituals, sometimes granting better hunts and crops by the Maasai and other African shaman and witches. They eat albinos making themselves invincible, also wearing their fingers, teeth, and ears, using them to craft potions and salves. They cannibalize eating the eyes. Eyeballs are a common delicacy, but the brains, hearts, liver, and genitals are eaten, and they drink the blood. Albinos are prized the most by their witchcraft, making the most powerful spells and talisman. They suck and scoop out the eyeballs of their victims who are still alive, chopping of their genitals. Later removing the beating heart, brains, or livers devouring them raw. Enslaved enemies are forced to fornicate with animals proving their loyalty to the shaman or witch, often using monkeys and goats and dogs. Chickens and cats are a common blood sacrifice for wide spread witchcraft rampant all over Africa. Although their magik also practices ritualistic human sacrifice and cannibalism and bestiality and blood magic. They carve runes into their skin, and stretch out various body parts for beauty power and sacrifice, also circumsizing both male and female, sometimes further multilating their other body parts branding them. Many of their practices have been stopped but even more remain.

Ritualistically killing impaling and crucifying and burning their victims.
