"In America some Indians believe that eating the
flesh, and particularly drinking the blood, of those
one has defeated in battle ..." (M&D, Ch. 38, p. 386)

Cf. ...

"We drank the blood of our enemies.  That's why you
see Gnostics so hunted.  The sacrament of the
Eucharist is really drinking the blood of the enemy." 

[...]

   "We drank the blood of our enemies.  The blood of
our friends, we cherished." (GR, Pt. IV, p. 739)
