The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Montezuma's Daughter by H. Rider Haggard: me, for it seems that as Dionysus possessed Agave, driving her to
unnatural murder, so did Huitzel possess Otomie, and indeed she
said as much to me afterwards. For I am sure that if the devils
whom the Greeks worshipped had such power, a still greater strength
was given to those of Anahuac, who among all fiends were the first.
If this be so, as I believe, it was not Otomie that I saw at the
rites of sacrifice, but rather the demon Huitzel whom she had once
worshipped, and who had power, therefore, to enter into her body
for awhile in place of her own spirit.
