Pride In Prison (Interview)

Author: Dave Maass (Interviewer) Source: Santa Fe Reporter (NM)

Title: PRIDE IN PRISON
Inmate No. 44521 doesn’t want to be Mark Reyes anymore. The 35-year-old prisoner at Penitentiary of New Mexico has filed a petition to change his name to Monica Meshica Wolf Tenocha, which he says better represents his identity as an Aztec high Satanic priest and an individual coping with gender dysphoria. Reyes is currently serving a 22-year sentence for attempted murder in Roswell. He is currently housed in Level 5 maximum security, which means he can’t work to save up to pay for the legal advertisement to complete the name change.
SFR: Why don’t you tell me a little bit about why you want to change your name?
SFR:The name is my original Aztec name. I’ve had this name my entire life. It translates to ‘Standing Mountain Warrior Wolf of the People of Tenocha.’ I was named Mark Reyes at birth by my mom. My mom wasn’t raised like us and carries a white religion. My name, Mark Reyes, is offensive. My people were slaughtered by Spanish people. A Spanish last name and a Jewish first name, that’s like naming a black person Adolf Hitler. You know what I mean? It’s awful. I hate that name.
SFR: What does it mean to be an Aztec high Satanic priest?
MR: The Satanic religion and the Toltecayotl religion of the Aztecs is the exact same thing, only they have different names for the gods. I’m a master of rituals and ceremonies, and I was pretty much brought up this way.
