I belong to the Native American race, my indigenous ancestry comes from Mexico. I’m assuming every Gentile race has a patron God because High Priest Lucius Oria said in this thread that the patron God of the Asian race is Lord Beelzebub.
I’m pretty sure the Demon Balam is the patron God of my race, can anyone confirm this? I don’t mean the Native Americans of North America like the Cherokee tribe, I’m referring to the Native Americans of Mexico (Mayans, Aztecs, Olmecs, etc).
The word “Balam” literally means “Jaguar” in the ancient Mayan language. The Demon Balam was known as the Black-Jaguar God in ancient Mexico, He was a very popular God in Mesoamerica and there’s an archaeological site in Mexico named after Him: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekʼ_Balam
In the Mayan civilization, tons of priests, kings and elite warriors would add the word “Balam” to their names. The ancient Mayans were obsessed with jaguars and revered them. There’s not much information about Lord Balam on the JoS website though.

Note- I’m avoiding using the term “Mexican” because “Mexican” isn’t a race, it’s a culture and nationality. There’s white people, black people and Asians that identify as Mexican. Modern day Mexico is a melting pot. When people say “Mexican race”, they’re usually referring to the indigenous Native American peoples of Mexico.
