Historically, throughout the region, priests paid tribute to the deity by wearing the skin of human sacrifices.
Wow!

It’s sad that such a wholesome, enlightened culture was decimated by those barbaric Europeans ...

‘La Santa Muerte’ is a human sacrifice cult connected to drug gangs that is growing right now in Mexico and the US.

Yes, the priests whose daily work drenched them in blood never bathed. Their long hair would would become thick mats. And to add to the charm they’d wear ‘body suits’ of selected sacrifices until they rotted off.
The barbaric Roman Catholic Spanish who had been fighting muslims for half a millennium and not realizing that all cultures are equal, viewed the priests, the idols, the temples, and the sacrifices as Satanic and wiped them all of the face of the earth.

“iewed the priests, the idols, the temples, and the sacrifices as Satanic and wiped them all of the face of the earth.”
Dunno.
I’ve spent a long portions of my life in the desert SW of the USA (admittedly in various AF bases). Just look at those stone heads in the post above yours. And think of the skull decorations of “Dia de los Muertos” celebrations of Mexican Roman Catholics.
I think it all just got rebranded.

For those interested in mesoamerican history, I highly recommend The Discovery and Conquest of Mexico by Bernal Dias.
Here is my review of the book, written about 1550-1570.
The Discovery and Conquest of Mexico by Bernal Diaz del Castillo is the only extant first person account of the campaign under the command of Hernando Cortez from 1519 to 1520. The campaign resulted in the discovery and conquest of the Aztec civilization in Mexico. Cortez himself wrote five long letters to Carlos V in Spain. Parts of them are included in this edition to help explain the narrative. But Cortez' letters were essentially reports of a Conquistador commander seeking favor, and explaining his actions, which were mostly extralegal. The entire Conquest was a massive verification of the adage that "It is easier to obtain forgiveness than permission."
Bernal Diaz' account is a first person narrative of the entire campaign, with the amazing detail of a foot soldier who is vitally interested in food, women, weapons, and gold. He includes accounts of two separate expeditions before Cortez.
