An entrepreneur with love in her heart,
she was the pride of oaxaca.
She loved the simple things in life:
Reading to her cat, Oscar.
Tending to her plants.
Her biggest passion: Baking.
People from all over Oaxaca would come to
her bakery to taste her confections.
But one day after a loss in the family,
Lydia suffered what the locals call a “SUSTO.”
A Fright so deep that it changes you forever.
The fear grabbed hold of lydia
and would not let go.
The fear kept Lydia from doing everything
that she used to love.
She stopped reading. her plants began to wilt.
her bakery no longer bustled with locals.
Seeing the fear that was controlling her life,
Lydia's friends persuaded her to see the local shaman.
The Shaman performed a healing ritual to sweep the evil from Lydia, cleansing her soul and lifting the darkness.
With the ceremony complete the shaman offered lydia a sip of susto mezcal to reunite her soul with her body.
Lydia Drank a sip of susto
As lydia drank the mezcal she felt the soulless sensation that had gripped her body being released
Lydia thanked the shaman for his mystical and healing powers. she was renewed.
As she was leaving, the shaman handed her a bottle of Susto and said,
"Banish your fears, reunite with your soul and always remember the magic of Susto."
We all carry a certain amount of fear. Drinking SUSTO MEZCAL won't get rid of all your fears, but it might help free you from the tension it creates.
