Thank you, Virgin, for saving my buddy and me from demons of evil.

By the medium of this exvoto, I thank Saint Raymond Nonnatus for the genius of David Cronenberg and his vision of “The Fly”. It’s one of my favorite movies and I’m always surprised by the strange beauty of this horror film.

One night I was awakened by the noise that came from a strange ball. It rolled right at me. The ball got on my sofa. I felt pain. It was very dark and very scary. Then this ball rolled back and disappeared in the open window. I thank my Guardian Angel, because there were only fighting cats. They scratched “Z” on my skin with their claws.

Today, May 20, 2005, I give my faith, devotion and my eternal gratitude to the Holy Virgin Mother of Mexico for many years at the ring. I offer her this small retablo, in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

Mil Mascaras — Land of courageous

In my family we used to bring offerings to our dead relatives. But when I became independent and began to live alone, I felt too lazy to put an altar and decided to decorate my house for Halloween instead. The night of the Day of the Dead I was greatly frightened by seeing that my grandparents appeared to me and they were very angry with me for not giving them offerings. I thank Saint Michael for they didn’t take me to a better world, and I promise not to forget my Mexican traditions.

Thanks to Jesus Malverde for meeting Mavi who treats me like a queen here in Mazatlan.

We were having a picnic, and suddenly an UFO appeared. I immediately entrusted myself to the Virgin, and fortunately the UFO only took the barbecue.

That tragic day—Tuesday, July 17, 1928—when I was attending a big banquet in “La Bombilla” restaurant honoring the elected president Alvaro Obregon who, being curious about some drawings shown to him, look at them, and Leon Toral killed him. After the shock, I entrusted his life to Christ the King, and he will forgive that young man because only God and he himself know why he did it.

I thank the cosmos for helping me to be happy and make music all over the place. Once I was a normal turtle who works and pays the rent but one day I decided to go out to the world and become who I really was.
