Human Sacrifice: In Norse mythology, human sacrifice was practiced, particularly in times of great crisis or to honor the gods. The most famous example is the sacrifice at the temple of Uppsala in Sweden, where every nine years, nine male animals, nine males of various species, and nine humans, often slaves or captives, were sacrificed. The exact nature and extent of these sacrifices are still debated among historians.
