Alux
Every place has its own legends - some being truer than others. Around the globe, you can find many legends about small human-like creatures causing chaos wherever they go. Some of these creatures are called goblins or golems, while others may be elves or even poltergeists. Mexico is no exception to these types of legends. In Mexico specifically, lives a Maya legend about “ little people ” that has been passed down for centuries. This legend is of the Alux, a kind of spiritual little person that causes mayhem, mischief, and destruction wherever it goes.

Tuesday's temperature check (2-28)
Last week, while I was poking fun at Chupacabra sightings by a woman coming off her high in Michigan, a jury was wrapping up a trial of a real-life drug king pin. Technically, he wasn’t a king pin, maybe he was a king thumbtack. García Luna, formerly Mexico's ‘security minister’, was found guilty of taking millions of dollars (I’d add in bribes, but we both know it wasn’t a D.A.R.E. donation) from Mexico's biggest crime group, the Sinaloa drug cartel.
The Mexican Harvey Dent (right), seen here in a courtroom sketch alongside his DC Comics’ counterpart, Harvey Dent, a.k.a. Two-Face (This isn’t just because, like Sen Lindsay Graham, he was against Trump, then for Trump, then against Trump – that would make him “Multi-Face”, which is just a nickname I give my Apple Watch) could spend the rest of his life in jail.
The only affectation that Luna is missing to complete the look is flipping a quarter (this was a US court, I know that, and “centavos” doesn’t have the same ring).
That’s not the only Mexican news for today, oh no, no no! Sunday, while trying to shift focus from his ersatz-fascist move in defunding their election watchdog, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador posted a picture on Twitter showing what he said appeared to be a mythological woodland spirit similar to an elf. Obrador said it was an “Aluxe,” a mischievous woodland spirit in Mayan folklore.
Here you can see the picture of the “Aluxe” (right) alongside a different mischievous creature that I caught in photograph while walking my dog. According to traditional Mayan belief, “Aluxes” are small, mischievous creatures that inhabit forests and fields and are prone to playing tricks on people, like hiding things. Some people leave small offerings to appease them.
Instead of an offering, I stole its sole, and thereby its power over me. The spell broken, I picked up my dog’s offering and we went on our way.
Stay safe!
