Episode 5 - The Cult of Santa Muerte - Part 1
Psychology After Dark - Een podcast door Dr. Jessica Micono and Dr. David Morelos
In 2016 my father and I travelled to Mexico to see the impressive pyramids of Teotihuacan. An intriguing invitation from an old friend and fellow scholar led to something much darker and yet somehow perfectly representative of the contradictions that dance together to create one of world's most spectacular, and terrifying, cities. This episode is a narrative of our trip to Mexico City and our encounter with Santa Muerte, the Mexican folk saint of death. Along the way we'll eat tacos, drink some mezcal, and try not to let my father break his leg in a Mexican pothole. Dr. Micono is on assignment this week and has given Dr. Morelos full creative control for this episode. God help us!
