Not too long ago, I was thinking about earthquakes and the areas they occur. It seemed as though the majority of the shaking occured where there was false religion. I noticed that Haiti was filled with Voodoo and that an area in Mexico, Oaxaca, known for tremors, specializes in occult crafts and beliefs in “nahuals” or spiritual companion animals.
I found this chart from Barry Brumfield that I thought was very interesting.
