Southern California police arrested a man who called himself a mystical Toltec shaman over accusations of alleged child sex abuse that span a decade.The Riverside County Sheriff's Department arrested 59-year-old Ricardo Flores as he was returning Wednesday from Mexico to the United States. Flores was booked at the Smith Correctional Facility on suspicion of forcible rape, aggravated sexual assault of a child, lewd acts on a minor, and continuous sexual abuse of a minor.Police said that "multiple victims" have come forward to accuse Flores of abuse at multiple locations. Investigators said Flores was the "religious leader" of a "shamanistic community at various locations" in southern California. KABC-TV said shamanism is defined as a religion Indigenous people practice that is "characterized by belief in an unseen world of gods, demons, and ancestral spirits responsive only to the shamans."At the beginning of August, an alleged victim came forward to police, and more alleged victims were identified through a police investigation. KABC reported Flores as the leader of the Church of the Cuzcatlan. A website for the group showed a man matching Flores' booking photo but referring to himself as "Koyote." The shaman describes himself as a follower of the Toltec tradition and being trained in Tantra Yoga and Western Mysticism. Flores also was listed in the business filing for the church. Investigators said the abuses went back as far as 10 years ago. Neither the number of children involved nor their ages were made available, KABC said.Flores was booked at the Smith Correctional Facility on suspicion of forcible rape, aggravated sexual assault of a child, lewd acts on a minor, and continuous sexual abuse of a minor.Police believe there may be more victims and are asking the public for any information that might be helpful to their investigation. The Church of the Cuzcatlan offers attendance to a spiritual ceremony for $500 entrance fee. KABC's news video report about Flores and his arrest was published on YouTube. Like Blaze News?

Police made a gruesome find after getting a suspicious response during a welfare check in San Antonio, Texas, earlier this week.The Bexar County Sheriff's Office said the family of a 76-year-old man asked for a welfare check after not hearing from him for several months. 'There’s some indicators the suspect had been living in the house with those remains and possibly cashing checks in the name of the victim.'When officers went to the home Wednesday, a male claiming to be the elderly man told police through a Ring doorbell camera that he was fine. Police were suspicious about the interaction and played the audio to the elderly man's family. Family members said the voice on the Ring camera "is not our father," Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said.The family was able to gain entry into the home, and a 48-year-old who spoke to officers came out. Deputies searched the home and found a refrigerator chained shut in the garage. After opening the refrigerator, officers found his father’s “badly decomposed” corpse inside, KSAT-TV said.Police on Thursday arrested the elderly man's son, David Michael Gibson, and charged him with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair a human corpse, a second-degree felony. The San Antonio Express-News reported that it’s unclear whether the son murdered his father or whether the elderly man died of natural causes.“Family members are saying they have not heard from or seen their father in several months,” Salazar continued. “There’s some indicators the suspect had been living in the house with those remains and possibly cashing checks in the name of the victim.”Gibson faces two to 20 years in prison if convicted of the felony charge. He was given a $250,000 bond. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Eris Discordia Montano is a 50-year-old divorced father of one, who decided to start identifying as a so-called “lesbian” — and began frequenting the women’s locker room at a St. Louis gym. On July 29, Montano began parading around the indoor pool area in a royal-blue bikini, and showering, shaving, and doing his makeup inside the women’s locker room. Allegedly, when he was confronted in the women’s room sauna by a member who said he shouldn’t be there, he tugged at his bikini top to show off his “breast” to prove that he was a woman. The management at Life Time Fitness then defended its decision to allow Montano to undress, shower, and groom himself with women and children — while Montano posted threats to harm himself and others across social media, as well as photos of guns. When Life Time Fitness reversed its decision and forcibly removed Monsanto from the club, he then drove to the woman’s house who complained. The woman’s husband, a former Marine, spotted him and locked his wife inside the bathroom, grabbed his gun, and positioned himself in the house ready to defend. Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” is horrified that it’s come to this point, but he knows how we did. “We got here by pandering. We’ve made transvestites believe they have the right to undress, shower, and poop alongside women and children. We’ve elevated their expectations, which elevates their feelings of victimization, oppression, and anger,” Whitlock says. “We’ve made transvestites expect to be treated like women. I’ve lived long enough. We didn’t used to do this. Plumbing was always the determining factor in bathroom usage. Bat and balls go here, mitts and gloves go there,” he continues. “We’re being forced to play along with the delusions of the mentally ill,” he adds.

Enochian is a mysterious language that 16th century occultists John Dee and Edward Kelley recorded in their private journals. They claimed this ‘celestial speech’ allowed magicians and occultists to communicate with angelic realms.  In the year 1581, occultists John Dee and Edward Kelley, claimed to have received communications from angels, who provided them with the foundations of a language with which to communicate with ‘the other side’.  This ‘angelic’ language contained its own alphabet, grammar and syntax, which they wrote down in journals.  The new language was called "Enochian" and comes from John Dee's assertion that the Biblical Patriarch Enoch had been the last human to know the language. The Enochian language entails plenty of myths and stories. The subject is deep enough for college professors to discuss and complex enough for students to seek help to handle studying it. So, let’s unveil the mystery behind Enochian: is it really the ‘angelic’ language? John Dee’s Enochian Magick: Language of The Angels or Encrypted Spy Talk?
