*History of the Organization: Even in ancient times the worship of Mezquital was frowned on, less so than modern times because mass sacrifice to the gods was normal. What is a touch of rape and skinning among all the heart out ripping?<P>Mezquital wanted his offerings young, nubile, female, mass raped, and skinned alive. If you have stomach for that he gives clerical power. The use of hallucinogenic drugs taken anally is also part of the rituals when you're not horrifically murdering women. Those that take part in the rituals and willingly eat the flesh of the sacrificed women are granted fortune in life, luck getting mates, in getting wealth and other matters of personal success.</p><P>The cult is very Dionysian with a main course of brutal torture and murder. And you better like it.</P><P>The unstated caveat is that if you stop, all is taken from you and the demon Mezquital will torture you forever.
