The Psychopomp Salon is a thematic presentation/meetup that will explore—via images, words, and group discussion—areas of our founder Joanna Ebenstein's research and travels. This month, we’ll focus on El Tío, a folk deity found in the mines of Bolivia who can either grant you unimaginable wealth or destroy you. Ebenstein will share never before shown photos form her travels, and introduce you to the rich and violent history behind these figure, revolving around a mountain that produced enough silver to form a bridge between Bolivia and Seville, and killed enough men to to create the same bridge in bones.
