Quick! I Needs Me Some Symbolism!

[Shallown]

I would lean toward a leg with meat on both ends (Knee and foot) with a snarling/fanged face over the top of it. Thinking the leg should be angled across not a flat line underneath.

I like the necklace of teeth idea, and I would also like to add in a single finger bone, OR... yes. A bag full of finger bones to be used like a medicine man's sacred bundle.

Or, if you want to go cheesy, how about a heart with a bite mark out of it?

 

[Castlin]

How about ye olde ouroboros. You could make the serpent symbolic of life, as it often is, or perhaps change it a bit into a man (or orc) eating himself.

 

[Zephrin the Lost]

My cannibal cult uses a human jawbone as a holy symbol.

My cannibal cult uses a human jawbone as a holy symbol.

And here I thought broadband was cool, you guys have your own cults. Looks like the students are going to get a few extra brainwashing sessions lessons. Got to keep up you know

 

[Teflon Billy]

A sip of Wine and a Wafer representing blood and flesh?

What?

How about a handful of charms representing the various parts of the Human Body that are consumed? (Heart, Eye, Tongue etc.)...I mean if it is ritual cannibalism I doubt it's going to be some kind of Plains Indian "use every part of the animal"-type deal is it?

IIRC, there are some tribes of Native Americans on the Eastern Seaboard / Northeast US that showed they were cannibals by tattooing a hand over thier mouth. There were accredited with eating parts of their enemies to gain their strength.

 

[Kae'Yoss]

What about this?

 

[Dross]

What about this?

While reading through this topic, all I can think about is the golden arches of McDonalds (just hold the gerkhin).

 

[TheAuldGrump]

A calm face wearing a skull mask that is painted on.
Favva beans and a nice Chianti.
A shrunken head, its lips sown shut that it might not be able to eat in the afterlife.
A figurine of a pregnant woman, shown hollow, another pregnant woman within, in a decreasing progression.
A corn dolly.
A sow's tooth.
A sheaf of grain.
A black cauldron
A sharks jawbone.
A stag's hide with the skull and antlers intact.
A hound's tooth.

All except the favva beans have actually been used....

The Auld Grump, but aside from the sow's tooth, the cauldron, and the grain sheaf do not ask me to assign names to the deities.... (Sow Demeter (Ceres) and Cerridwen bear some similarities, sometimes....)
