The ceremony differs according to the race, but the most common are the blending of blood and the drinking of blood. In the Hung ritual it is the latter form which is used and it is possible that this is the earliest mode. My reason for thinking so is that by this means each blood brother acquires a definite control over the life principle of the other.
