I've been fighting with a sore throat & cold all weekend. That and the 7 line being weird are keeping me home from a party where there's bound to be hookahs. Sigh...
Santa Muerte image in my journal:
Abuelita is addicted to "Caso Cerrado" (a Spanish-language version of "Judge Judy" that sometimes has a higher weirdness factor) and the other day a girl was on with a Santa Muerte statue like this. The throne she was seated on had the Heru Udjat (Eye of Horus) as one of the designs on it, but as La Huesuda is already a syncretization of Mictecacihuatl and more European images of Death brought over by the Spaniards, I guess a little more syncreticism can't hurt. Especially if it's a symbol that sacred.
