Good Luck Charms Quotes

“No one knew the way to placate the enemy's power. In times of tribulation they used to visit the dark caves, laden with gifts. They used to chew bitter leaves before saying their prayers; and once when they had grown desperate they chose the best among them and crucified him. Because the white men keep their God thus, nailed hand and foot to stop his anger from being unleashed. But the Indians had watched it rot, that martyred body they had tried to set up as a safeguard against misfortune.”
― Rosario Castellanos, Balún Canán
