Many criminal groups from organized crime or street gangs have ancient rituals or pray to old religions.

Caribbean or african gangsters have rituals with spiritual religion from there countries.

Haitian gangsters with vodou, cuban got santeria, yardies got obeah.
Mexican cartel members pray old aztec gods with a mix of catholic saints.
Chinese trisds and japanese yakuza also got there things.


I know the italian mafia pray the virgin mary. But do italian pray old gods
Or old italian spirituality or witchcraft?

Stregheria is a form of Witchcraft with Southern European roots, but also includes Italian American[1][2] witchcraft.

Do y’all think italian mobster practice Stregheria ?

And do y’all have other exemple of OC or street gangs groups and spirituality?

I know that african women send in Europe for prostitution believe in the Macumba aka that if they rebel, evil spirits will take revenge on their families in africa.

Yes in african and caribbean groups tjose kind of things are taken very seriously.

Wonder of the italian mob has some kind of thing similar.
Like the cartel members who pray certains catholic saints or ancient aztec god…

Nope. The ritual of the mafia and ndragheta are mockery of catholic rites. Of course many believe in the mal'occhio (bad eyes) but the young generation doesnt believe in such things,in some cases there are priests that are close to the organization and confess and absolve members (Chiesa Nostra).
And the worst thing is when the statue of the saint or the madonna "bows" in front of the boss's house.

I think a lot of Italian American mob guys go through the motions of faith to be seen as respectable.

Bass Mass the name of the James Bulger movie is actually a Demonic ceremony that Aliester Crowley practiced.

The Black Mass, sometimes referred to as the "Demonic Mass", is a controversial and reviled ritual in Christian mythology that supposed to bestow the "blessings" of Hell and it is widely recognized and known to be practiced and and even "praised" by individual Satanists and Luciferian devil-worshipping cults.” The Christian that chased the snakes ???? out of Ireland ???????? and something related to Hells Kitchen?

Santeria is also practiced in El Salvatore, I was able to find out the guy closet to Pat Musitano and Angelo Musitano, his wife’s family is from El Salvatore is involved in Santeria, they also have family in Brooklyn that does the same stuff. I’m pretty sure its Ivan Gallos wife, Isis? He now is part of the Iavarone/Violi/Gallo family in Hamilton, with HA Martin Roberts backing.

Similar to Voodo, which Ducarme Joseph practiced it involves demonic blood ???? magik, which is basically snuff, the rape and murder or women and children. Also bisexual pedophiles, which at least Jim Bulger was rumoured to be? Also well documented that Bulger was with the State aka FBI. lI’llassume in Canada ???????? it is the RCMP, OPP and Surete du Quebec.

Which isn’t too surprising since in Quebec they have a history of bisexual Hells Angels (Danny Kane) also Richard Gervais from Kirkland Lake who has family in Hamilton, as well as family (Phil Gervais aka Philippe "Philbilly" Gastonguay), that was called to Hamilton in January 2014, right after Vito Rizzutos death. Gervais attempted to kill Wayne Kellestine of the Shedden Massacre in 2004 and was one of the Sherbrooke HAs that Skinny Ward was scared of in Niagara Falls.

Which makes sense since Canada has a murdered and missing women and children epidemic!!

There was an off shoot from Scientology referred to as the ˜Process, they ended up establishing covens in Canada via bikers in 1970s that do the same thing, similar to Helter Skelter and Charlie don’t surf ??????? .

It is only a movie , but in Belly, NAS conducts a satanic ceremony I’m pretty sure!

Cutting out Jim Bulger’s eyes, could of been symbolic. In Palermo, they cut the eyes out of a Sicilian Princess’ head, or the story goes lol.

Hence, eyes for eyes with Sicilians and Vendetta.

I’ve actually spent a lot of time with people who have shared with me the oral traditions from the Streghe ??????? of Sicily.

This is the type of stuff that Rene Charlebois was getting out of Benoit Roberge.

Its Santa Muerte as well, same stuff Ranieri, Cudmore and Tomasetti were doing in Hamilton and Mexico ???????? , with all the people that are still alive in Hamilton, cops ???????, politician as well, Sam Merulla, Ned Kuruc and Tom Jackson??

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazario_Moreno_Gonz%C3%A1lez

Nazario Moreno is venerate as saint and people pray him for save him from the Zetas.

In Mexico, Santa Muerte, the Death Saint, is the "patron saint of crime and criminals."

In montreal, many gang members practice vaudou.
Vaudou is not a satanic spirituality like the media or the church want people to believe.
Its a spirituality like hinduism, asian religion or others.
But you must be careful, because if you believe in it, there are doors that can be dangerous.

THERE ARE TWO MAIN BRANCHES OF THE YAKUZA:

The Tekiya: itinerant vendors and hawkers originally, like Japanese Gypsies. They do everything from fortune telling to committing crimes. No more than 20% actually engage in peddling anymore. In addition to Amaterasu and the Emperor, they worship the god, Shinn?.

The Bakuto: very simply, they’re gamblers. In addition to Amaterasu and the Emperor, they worship the god, Hachiman.

Both branches worship Amaterasu and the present Emperor of Japan. Honestly, I don’t know what the worship of a living man is all about, perhaps it’s more of a respectful thing than worship like that of a deity.

Classic Yakuza activities include pachinko (a game), prostitution, protection, extortion, illegal gambling, occasionally drugs, real estate, and construction.

Tattoos were once used to brand criminals, but they became the mark of laborers in Japan and then solely Yakuza. Members tattoo themselves to:

Show that they have passed an initiation.

Prove that they have endured pain.

Commit an irreversible act.

Bear a mark of their order with pride.

Yakuza men wear kimono only on special occasions. These days, they prefer flashy suits, bright ties, sunglasses, rings, and close-cropped hair.

SOME YAKUZA TERMS:

O-Oyabun: Boss

Kobun: Gang members

Katagi: Straight Society

Sokaiya: Protection racket: they harass stockholder meetings.

Mikajime: Protection fees

Gobu-gobu: Brother; a title given to a man of equal rank. The Yakuza uses familial ranks so the wife of a boss would be called an elder sister and a lower ranking man would be called a younger brother.

Dormanbai: “Muddy Pen” The process of selling bad products.

A YAKUZA RITUAL~

Sakazuki: The Cup Exchange

Sakazuki is the most important Yakuza ritual. It’s conducted in a secret location and time that are only revealed at the last moment. At one end of the hall it’s held in there will be an altar, above which will hang three scrolls representing three gods: Amaterasu on the right, Shinn? in the middle, and the Emperor on the left.

The ritual is conducted to implore purification from the Gods then a visit is paid to a local hot spring, and, finally, a boisterous and licentious feast is held. It was during this ritual that the Yakuza was attacked by werewolves in the Godhunter Series.

THE GODS:

Amaterasu is the Goddess of the Sun and is one of the few female sun goddesses there are. Her name means: Shining in Heaven. She is the ruler of the Sun and Heavens along with her brother, Tsukuyomi, the Moon God. She is also the ruler of Takama no Hara, the High Celestial Plain, the domain of Kami (spirits). Amaterasu is the daughter of Izanami and Izanagi, sister of Susanoo (the Storm God), and mother of Ama-no-Oshiho-mimi. She is associated with roosters, the Sun, and ravens (her messengers).

Shinn? was actually a Chinese god-emperor who was credited with discovering medicine. He’s a God of Agriculture, Music, Medicinal Herbs, and the Market. It’s not clear how the Japanese Tekiya Yakuza came to worship him but since they’re traveling merchants, they probably picked him up in China and brought him back to Japan like a divine memento.

Hachiman is the God of Archery and War and is the patron god of warriors. He was worshiped by the Samurai and is considered to be a protector of Japan. Obviously, the Yakuza craved such a strong god for their own, but I find it interesting that a crime syndicate has such an honorable god as their patron.

The 'Ndrangheta is like a cult, very religious.

The Jinn are spirits that pre date even Islam, are supposed to be able to Eat, Sleep, Have Sex, and Die.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/9k7ekv/what-are-jinn-arab-spirits

If you know 2 pac, he mentioned in a track to call ‘Earl’, ‘Earl’ referred to some Dark Magik entities, similar to the Jinn or even the Jinn themselves.

In America, they have a man named Michael Aquino, he is part of the Military Psychological Warfare, he created the Temple of Set.

“ metaphysical revelations allegedly received by Dr. Aquino from the ancient Egyptian entity Set, god of darkness”

Michael Aquino was around the Church of Satan with Anton Lavey, whose most famous member originally was Sammy Davis Jr.

The ndrangheta is based on blood family. Like in the middle ages they decide who their daughter should marry and ever for forge a new alliance,stop a feud or give the possibility to a young mineymaker from a minor ndrina to be accept to a big and more powerful ndrina.
The other things is mockery of roman catholic rites.
