Just came back from a trip to Mexico City and found a rare cult named "The Holy Death" or "La Santisima Muerte", full in folklore.
I went to a small “church” where the main figure is a skull. Found a lot of people with colorful candles and amulets, praying and asking for special favors. People have commented to me that most of the populace that uses this cult is drug dealers, criminals, thieves and prostitutes; all of them ask for protection. I leaved soon the place because someone told me that it’s dangerous to stay around that neighborhood. Anyway it was a good experience. Take some time to read about this cult and you will find interesting legends about "La Santísima Muerte" for your bizarre repertoire.
