Her shrines can be found in the lairs of the most violent criminal gangs, her worshipers are known to have committed verified human sacrifices, and her cult has spread from secret temples in rural Mexico to almost every large city in America. Santa Muerte — the death goddess of Mexican narco-cults — has arrived in America and established a foothold in our communities that will be impossible to dislodge. While many are rightfully concerned about jihadists crossing our southern border, there is another death cult spreading among us that is just as dangerous as Islamic terrorists.

The origins of the Santa Muerte cult are a mystery even to adherents. One common myth is that a 19th century Brujo chaman (witch doctor) had a vision of the goddess who ordered the creation of the cult. This supposedly happened near Veracruz. However a report prepared by Kevin Freese for the Foreign Military Studies Office points out many devotees claim the Santa Muerte cult has existed for thousands of years in secret, only becoming widespread under the Aztec rule. Worshipers claim that this “saint” is actually the goddess Mictecacíhuatl, who was said to eat the dead and was worshiped by skinning human sacrifices alive.

Little wonder that the Catholic Church officially describes the veneration of Santa Muerte as devil worship. Still, many Mexicans who consider themselves Catholic make offerings to the black goddess for protection, success, or vengeance.

While the origins of the cult are murky, what is clear is its association with crime and Mexico’s brutal cartel war. In 2008 police found a shrine to Santa Muerte where members of the Zetas paramilitary were sacrificing rival drug members. In that case, 11 men were decapitated and their heads were burned in a clearing.

The brutality of those slayings mirrors the crimes of Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo, whose coven regularly sacrificed Mexicans to empower his Nganga – an altar made from human body parts believed to contain a familiar spirit enslaved to the magician. The group’s murders would have gone undetected for years had they not made the mistake of abducting an American tourist named Mark Kilroy. Authorities were forced to investigate the disappearance and found Kilroy’s brains in Constanzo’s Nganga. Ultimately, Constanzo and his group were charged with 16 ritual murders.

There were 74 known ritual murders in Mexico City at that time. Fourteen of the victims were infants.

Constanzo’s altar included Santa Muerte statues and Constanzo’s high priestess — a woman named Sara Maria Aldrete Villareal — was given the nickname La Madrina, Spanish for godmother. This is also one of the many honorifics Santa Muerte devotees give to their goddess. After her capture Villareal had this to say about the cult:

I don’t think the religion will end with us, because it has a lot of people in it. They have found a temple in Monterrey that isn’t even related to us. It will continue.
And indeed the cult has come a long way since the 1989 Matamoros murders. At last count there were at least ten public shrines dedicated to Santa Muerte in Mexico City and up to 120 public altars. A self-proclaimed bishop of the cult named David Romo Guillen ran “masses” at midnight venerating Santa Muerte starting in 2002. Attendance was estimated to average between two and three hundred people. In 2011 Guillen was arrested for running a kidnapping ring.

The Catholic Church are idol worshipers who changed the 10 Commandment's to fit their heresy and really have no standing to condemn others.
 
Keeping track of everyone we are to be afraid of is exhausting. Thank the lawd for political truther sites and those that c&p them!

There have been the Totenkopf Hussars for a couple of centuries now. Death gets a lot of mileage.
 
I think Death just has a PR problem, like when Sarah Palin uses him...




I think we should start referring to Death as iPAB...

Maybe so, as he seems to piss off some folks and makes a lot of others unhappy.


He seems like a Comanchero, but the one that you just can't kill, no matter how many times you shoot him.


Perhaps Obama could ask him to replace Biden.
 
Then, iPAB could become President, that's what Biden does, attend funerals and await The President's iPAB!
 
You country folk sure seem scared to death of just about everything (one). Come for a visit, I'll drop you off in SouthEast DC about 2 am and you'll experience some fear.

"Skin 'em, Pilgrim!"

I have a few SE tales, and am alive to tell them.

Years ago my car was stolen. About 3 weeks later the PoPo called and said they found it, and gave me the address to go pick it up. It was in SE. I drove past the car and it was obvious it wasn't drivable. I didn't even get out of the car, just made a bee-line for the nearest Starbuck's.
 
It was city livin' that forced me to realize that what I needed was not so much guns as LOTS of ammo!



:D ;) ;)

'Specially Houston!
 
In my city, where I live, last night, I had a dumbass drunk come to my door at 10:30. I yelled "go away" at the first three knocks and answered in my shorts with my .45 on the fourth one. He did apologize.


I doubt he saw what I was clinging to - I didn't turn on the front porch light to be all hospitable an' shit.

The only people that ever knock on my door are those little beggers trying to make me buy cookies, and hikers that have to pee.

My response is the same: "Get off my lawn!"
 
From my perusing of the political posts of the day, a Bible would have had him shitting his shorts in terror more so than a .45...
 
I hope the hell something is in season because I'm hearing a lot of gunfire this morning and that last burst sounded fully-automatic...




Is Cheney in the hood? He is still iPAB's minion, no?

I'm okay with the kids, as long as they use the walk.


I kept the gun behind my thigh and the door jamb, so I doubt he saw it. My scowl and tone of voice seemed sufficient to the task.
 
*beats an asshook into a plowshare, until the sorry-ass Chinese steel fatigues and breaks*


eta: with my fist ;)
