Blood sacrifices and beer races are all part of keeping ancient deities happy

On a mountaintop 2,250 metres above sea level in Pshavi, in the Caucasus Mountains of Georgia, Ioseb Kochlishvili is performing a pagan ritual. Eighty-nine years old, and dressed in a battered suit jacket and corduroys, this is the first year he hasn't walked all the way up here to Iremtkalo, the "meadow of the deer". This time he came on horseback instead.
