| Building Site Sacrifice – According to popular belief not every place brings good luck; therefore not every place is suitable for a home or a building. This belief was evident not only among primitive tribes but also among contemporary European nations. Jordanes, 6th century Roman bureucrat wrote concerning the Huns that when they reached the border of Sycthia they drew lots who should be the first to enter; then they sacrificed him in order that the nation should be fortunate in conquering the land. According to the chronicles this was the fate of chieftain Álmos when his people arrived to the chosen land. He was sacrificed as appeasement in order that his people should be fortunate when conquering the chosen land, their future home. Nowadays the ceremonial immurement of various scripts or objects in the foundation (corner) stone of a building is the remnant of former blood sacrifices. At one time through propitiation man bought the right to build the property from the guardian spirit of the soil. Human sacrifice was customary through immurement, especially in castles and fortresses, but also in other buildings. In Hungarian folklore the story of the wife of stonemason Kelemen Kőmives is preserved in a folk ballad. She was immured in the fortress walls of Déva, Transylvania.
