This was then ripped away from them and given and offered to Ekchuah, the god of the cacao plantations, and to other cacao gods.
Planting the grains consisted in a special ritual of which we can find vivid expressions of from the historian of the nineteenth century H.

In order to give solemnity to the act, everyone would go to the plantation and there they would sacrifice a dog that had a cacao colored spot on its skin.
