It took me several days to write the report for my boss. A strong wind blew all the pages away, and only thanks to the miracle of the Virgin of Guadalupe I managed to collect them.

Maria Guadalupe and I loved each other, but her brother Poncho was against our relationships. Since he was a sorcerer, he came at nights as a furious nagual to separate us. Only thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe’s help and her blessing, we managed to run away and get married in another town.

A horrible devil possessed my sweet and beloved animals and set them against me. When I saw them coming to attack me I took out the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe and the shinning of her image scared the devil. My animals recovered their mind, and I give thanks for the miracle.

I give thanks the Virgin of Zapopan. When a lightning struck near me and my sheep, we were only slightly burned but nothing horrible happened to us.

I became a widower shortly after the wedding and I didn’t wanted to marry again. I brightened my loneliness in a company of my roosters. When they noticed that I was very sad they came to peck my feet so that I see that I wasn’t alone. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for that.

[...] thank the Virgin for these marvelous moments. When we arrived on horseback to our house and his little brother and sister with his dogs came to give us a welcome, I felt like I was a part of him.

My agaves were possessed by maguey demons. They didn’t let me gather the maguey sap. So I prayed to the Holy Virgin, and she turned them into stones. Now the stones demons are very popular among the tourists. They come to see them, and I sell pulque to the tourists.

Guard my cows, because sometimes the devil comes to dance with them.

My little daughter had horrible nightmares. I was worried when I heard her screaming. I prayed to the Virgin for help. The Virgin send her guardian angel who confronted the devils of the bad dreams. The angel chased them away from my little girl. Now she dreams calmly, with sweet dreams.
