Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bloodletting was the ritualized self-cutting or piercing of an individual s body that served a number of ideological and cultural functions within ancient Mesoamerican societies, in particular the Maya. When performed by ruling elites, the act of bloodletting was crucial to the maintenance of sociocultural and political structure. Bound within the Mesoamerican belief systems, bloodletting was used as a tool to legitimize the ruling lineage s sociopolitical position and, when enacted, was important to the perceived well-being of a given society or settlement.
