Blood of the King & Our Lady of Guadalupe (ft. Lydia Lei)

The Aztecs were one of the most bloody civilizations in history. In fact, blood, along with corn, was central to their ritual practices and sacrifices. Without the spilling of blood, the world would end. Lydia Lei, history and literature teacher at Chesterton Academy, joins the show to discuss the Aztec religion and their religious symbolism. We talk about how these symbols were incorporated into the tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I mispronounce more names.  ************************************************************************************************************* Follow me on Twitter @AaronIrber Donate to my Patreon - I Might Believe in Faeries https://www.patreon.com/imightbelieveinfaeries Like my Facebook page - I Might Believe in Faeries Battle Of The Creek by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Logo Art by Linnea Kisby ************************************************************************************************************* Books Mentioned: Guadalupe Mysteries: Deciphering the Code by Grzegorz Gorny & Janusz Rosikon Our Lady of Guadalupe: And the Conquest of Darkness by Warren H.
