Virgin of Guadalupe, I dedicate this ex-voto in the name of all those women cowardly killed in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. I ask, with all my heart, to repose their souls in the paradise, for the sake of their families’ comfort.

A strange lady fell in love with me. Help me Virgin.

Señora Maria Rodrigues had the same dream every night that she woke up in a coffin at the cemetery and skeletons try to put her down in the grave. She prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe and now thanks because she heard her and delivered her from those nightmares.

The piglet Luis was about to be taken to the slaughterhouse. Thank you, Virgin, for they granted him life.

I dedicate this retablo to the Virgin of Guadalupe as a gratitude because thanks to my job as an organ-grinder I could support my children and it’s a very good feeling to make the people around feel happy with my music which follows me everywhere.

A skeleton played with my toys. Thanks for he didn’t damaged them.

Luisa, 1971

My horse was taken by the nagual, but then he left it. Thanks to the Virgin.

December 23, finding myself in doubt about continuing my career as an artist, I decided to make a video with one of my performances. I asked the Virgin for the video being successful so I’d have more confidence. The video had more than 50.000 views, and I was very happy. Thank you, Virgin. I love you.

Pedro and Juan thank the Virgin for being very happy.

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for the miracle of delivering my son from that woman of easy virtue. He fell in love and was going mad. Seeing him in such state, I prayed you for him, and you worked the miracle.

Ines Sanchez thanks for being a prostitute and having money.

I was a very gossipy woman. Every time I went to the market it was about gossiping around. But one day, as soon as I arrived at the market, I felt a strong sulfur smell. Then I had a horrible apparition with wings and horns. Oh my God, it was the devil himself. Frightened as hell, I would never gossip again nor would I talk badly about any person. Thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Bless you God and my Virgin of Guadalupe for helping my son when he sat out in our garden and was attacked by some tarantulas. Good thing nothing happened, he just got scared.
