I think about this story a lot. I love learning about unusual deities and pondering what prompted their apotheosis. Great style. Please keep putting these out when you can.
Thanks!! I'm glad you liked it. Maximon's an interesting deity for sure. If I recall correctly, there's two or so in different parts of Guatemala. Central America was fantastic (at least when I took this trip around 2014) and has lots to see. Have you been/there now, or want to go? Cheers
I haven't been to Central America. I've been to quite a few places in South America: Peru, Chile, Argentina, but haven't made it to Central A, yet. Quite a few countries in Central America are on my list, though. I've heard Panama has a good pensionado program.
Do you have any other articles on Central America/Guatemala? Most countries there I only have a cursory knowledge of and I would find reading about them interesting.

Awesome article and fun read! Never heard about such a kick ass deity. How did you enjoy traveling in Central America?
Cheers
