Quetzalcoatal was a god who appeared as a feathered serpent, and among the Toltec required ritual human sacrifices. THe sacrifices were done in the same manner as those for Chaak, with the victims placed on a stone altar, and their hearts removed with an Obsidian blade.

I believe these were unconscious projections or dreams that reflected the state of mind of those people. If the above was a dream symbol, a serpent would imply impulse or cold blooded reflex action like a snake. This type of impulse has no warmness in its heart.
The dream gave the serpent feathers like a bird to show the snake is in the air. This means cold blooded impulse that appears in the head as thoughts and is then acted without warmness. The priest sort of plays this role in the drama, where he kills the victim in a cold blooded and calculated way.
If someone had this dream, it would be telling you to not be so cold with blind impulse, but warm up or you will lose your heart or your ability to feel empathy. By acting out this dream symbolism in reality, especially using an innocent virgin, people would feel empathy.
If you look at it logically, the type of person who thinks they would enjoy this would have to be cold blooded and almost desensitized to the suffering of others. But after they see this happen, the image of the sweet innocent virgin being butchered will linger in the mind and haunt them. Now the dream or god is within them. He is the cold impulse, separating out of the unconsciousness of the person. When a person becomes cold impulse they now think about the god, the girl and slow down their reflex action.
It is similar to going to a slaughter house to see how steak is made. The next time you want steak that image in the slaughter house also appears and makes you sort of think twice. You may still eat but now steak isn't just a cold abstraction that comes in slices. It was a brutal group therapy that most cultures eliminated as people evolved.
With animal sacrifices the empathy was for natural instincts. The lamb or calf is natural and innocent. Instinct became perverted or overlapped, so the empathy indiction was for the old natural state before culture. This would separate out from god or goddess of the aberration who demanded that this sacrifice be made.
