This is a personal talk about my fate and my experience with Santa Muerte, how she communicates, and some of the history of the faith that I have managed to uncover over my years as a devotee and an active practitioner, including links to ancient Aztec worship and the origins of the skeletal iconography.

This talk will explore the practices, ritual, significance and symbolism of Santa Muerte as I have experienced them, and students will have a chance to ask questions to develop their own practice. All students should walk away with a basic understanding of the current phase and developing trends of Santa Muerte in Mexico and abroad.

Time will be set aside for set aside for Q&A.

For over a decade Ed Calderon worked in the fields of counter-narcotics, organized crime investigation, and public safety in the northern border region of Mexico. During this period he also coordinated and worked executive protection details for high-level government officials and visiting dignitaries — often in some of the most dangerous parts of the country.

Ed Calderon’s study into the indigenous Méxican criminal culture, from occult practices to endemic modus operandi have lead him to be recognized as one of the world’s preeminent researchers and trainers in the field of personal security that has come out of Mexico. Ed has had the privilege of sharing his expertise with members of federal law enforcement agencies including the FBI and BORTAC, Navy SEALS, Indonesian Kopaska, Mexican and United States intelligence service agents, and members of special forces groups from all over the world.

Currently, Ed travels North America doing security consulting and conducting seminars and private training courses in anti-abduction, escapology, unarmed combat, region-specific executive protection work, and unconventional-edged weapons work.
