Step back in time to 1960s Yerbabuena, Mexico, where desperation, deception, and darkness converged in a chilling true crime saga. In this episode, we unravel the terrifying rise of Magdalena Solís, a young woman forced into a life of hardship before transforming into the self-proclaimed High Priestess of Blood. What began as a manipulative scam by two con artists quickly spiraled into a deadly cult of human sacrifice, fueled by ancient myths and absolute control.


Join us as we dive into the twisted story behind this horrific blood cult, exploring the eerie fusion of Incan gods, Aztec deities, and Catholic saints that justified unspeakable acts. Listen now as we uncover how blind faith, manipulation, and psychological torment led to one of Mexico’s most gruesome cases.
