"DIOS DEL RAYO"
The religion of Triqui people is based around this legend. As the legend goes two feathered serpents would watch over the village. Worship day is the 25th of April, there is a ceremony to ask for good harvest and rain. The ceremony is held inside large caves. The whole community participates in the gathering with drinking and fellowship. A priest kills a black rooster and paints the blood inside the cave.

There are said to be evil gods that hide in the woods looking for people to trick or deceive, mostly hunters.The gods have sent a blonde haired woman who wears dirty clothing and has bird shaped feet. She is a very attractive woman which the men can not resist. The locals have made a song about this woman in the woods and it is known not to sing the song in the woods because they could appear.
