Mictlanteuctli, Mictlantecutli

"Mictlāntēcutli or Mictlantecuhtli (meaning 'Lord of Mictlan'), in Aztec mythology, is a god of the dead and the king of Mictlan (Chicunauhmictlan), the lowest and northernmost section of the underworld. He is one of the principal gods of the Aztecs and is the most prominent of several gods and goddesses of death and the underworld. The worship of Mictlantecuhtli sometimes involved ritual cannibalism, with human flesh being consumed in and around the temple." [Mictlāntēcutli, Wikipedia]

At a hidden cave on the wild slope of the haunted Sierra de Malinche, Arthur Feldon chanted to Mictlanteuctli and other deities (including Cthulhutl) shortly before apparently executing himself with an electric device. Later, it seemed that Feldon, or perhaps his ghost or astral projection, exclaimed "Mictlanteuctli, Great Lord," while menacing the Electric Executioner narrator. [HPL Electric (online text)]
