#110 - Santa Muerte & Mexican Occultism with Ed Calderon | Glitch Bottle

What is the cult of Santa Muerte that venerates the personification of death itself? How do people in marginalized communities (and also police and drug cartel members) beseech Santa Muerte for protection, healing and help? Ed Calderon has worked in the fields of counter-narcotics, organized crime investigation, and public safety in the northern border region of Mexico for more than a decade. His study into the indigenous Méxican criminal culture, from occult practices to endemic modus operandi have led him to be recognized as one of the world’s preeminent researchers and trainers in the field of personal security that has come out of Mexico. Ed has had the privilege of sharing his expertise with members of federal law enforcement agencies including the FBI, Navy SEALS and special forces groups from all over the world. In this episode, Ed shares about his powerful journey fighting cartels, what redemption really means, his relationship with Santa Muerte, answers your Patreon listener questions and so much more. ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ► ✅Ed’s ‘Praxis Occultus 2.0’ Zoom Course - https://www.edsmanifesto.com/courses/zoom-course-praxis-occultus-x7s6f ► ✅ Ed Calderon’s website - https://www.edsmanifesto.com/ ► ✅Follow Ed on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/edsmanifesto_/ ✦
