The new president of Mexico incorporated pagan rituals into his inaugural ceremonies. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (also known as "Amlo"  received "traditional blessings" from indigenous priests and priestesses on Dec. 1. He partook in a purification ritual alongside First Lady Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller.The "traditional healers" blew incense-smoke on the new president and first lady and brushed them with bundles of herbs. Then, a man bestowed upon López Obrador a staff symbolizing his presidential authority which was topped with the head of ancient Meso-American pagan deity Quetzalcoatl — typically represented as a feathered snake. The purification ritual was part of the inauguration ceremonies marking the beginning of López Obrador's presidency. It took place in Zocalo, Mexico City's main square, in front of the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven. United States Vice President Mike Pence and other top White House officials flew in for the inauguration of Mexico's new president — whom headlines have dubbed Mexico's "first leftist president in decades." López Obrador gave a 90-minute speech to the thousands of people who came to his inaugural celebration, in which he emphasized economic policies and caring for the country's poor. On the campaign trail leading up to his election earlier this year, López Obrador was quiet on the issues of abortion and the definition of marriage. He spoke often about religious and cultural values, but avoided getting into specifics about so-called "social issues." Mexico is a nominally Catholic country, with slightly more than 80 percent of the population identifying itself as Catholic. https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/mexican-president-inaugurated-with-pagan-ritual osystein mukina2 HumbledbYGrace Mynd44 OAM4J
