Children of the Corn and
Maize God
CARNAL CORN-IVOROUS MAIZE GOD
Modern
literature is always seeing the most dangerous horrors as if they were
entertaining, and as a matter of fact we enjoy them a lot.
Stephen
King rediscovered and reinvented the old Maya myth of the Maize God who was
sacrificed, meaning put to death by the Death Lords a long time ago and who was
resuscitated by his own children, the Hero Twins.
He has to be sacrificed again every year both after the harvest to get a promise of a good one next year and before sowing the seeds in the spring to make sure the corn will prosper and the harvest will be good. That means a lot of blood and quite a few human volunteers to accept the big sacrificial voyage to Xibalba.
Stephen King wrote a novella or big short story a long time ago and it became a cultish long series of eight films or direct adaptations. 8 is, of course, the symbol of the Second Coming of the Christian sacrificed divine being that many in this world celebrate every Sunday. But the Christian references are always warped into some kind of fanatic fundamentalism against adults.
Be sure you do not listen to teenager preachers, Asperger or not because they do not know what they are saying, which is a reason why you can forgive them but do not believe in their predication.
