I learned about the Juju religion at uni, only to have a student in class from Nigeria tell a story of nearly being sacrificed because she was a twin (her twin was male) and caught the eye of a traveling Juju doctor. Sacrificing her and using her in rituals because she's a twin sister would make for powerful magic in making men irresistible to women. Here we were learning about this as a segment of history only to learn it still goes on. When she brought it up, even our shitlib professor started to impart similar stories from when she was there.
