Sacrifices:
Druid priests and people
would go from house to house
asking for fatted calves, black
sheep, and human beings.
Those who gave were
promised prosperity ['treat'] and those
who refused to give were
cursed and threatened ['trick'].
Bonfires:
Bonfires orginally came from
the nights of human and
animal sacrifices where they
would throw the remains of
the bodies into the fire. The
next morning all that was left
were the ashes and bones.
