Are there any practices based on a carnivore diet?

[Nagaram]

I am fascinated with Esoteric practices from the Near East, Greece, Egypt and Eruope, but I'm not super aware of anything outside of the influence of the Greek Magical Papyri honesty. And within this context, a vegan diet is almost always prescribed to help facilitate altered states, increase effectiveness, or as a general mindfulness practice (it's usually worded as "avoid animal flesh and milk" or something, but it's basically a vegan diet). I'm also aware of the Hindu and Buddhist preference for at least Vegetarian diets as part of a path to enlightenment.

But are there any traditions that claim their form of ascension can come through the consumption of animal flesh?

Arguably, I think there's a claim within a modern esoteric moment that this is the case if you are of the mind to claim vague "New Age" tiktok trends as esoteric practices (I do in a way), but I want to know if there's any historic precedent to this?

A tool for awakening certain animal energies from the sacral perhaps?
