Michael Yon recounts his experiences tracking the Aghori cult in India, a subsect of Hinduism that practices ritual cannibalism. He describes their belief that because God created everything, nothing—including human remains—should be viewed with disgust. Yon details their use of human skulls for drinking and femur bones for trumpets, noting that similar practices exist in certain old forms of Tibetan Buddhism.
