AB  - This article is the result of an investigation on the cultural systems that sustain intergang 
violence in marginalized neighborhoods of Cali, Colombia. It is about magical and religious 
beliefs of gangsters around the episodes of violence, and that allows us to observe aspects 
of psychology of the gangster that are functional adaptations to the reality of vendettas and 
territorial wars, which are intended to give sense and meaning to the tragic events of their 
lives. The study shows how Santeria is used to seek protection and to damage the enemy, and 
how their ideas of God and the Devil, good and evil, lack of a regulatory ethics of relationships 
with others, and are an expression of a mechanism narcissistic defense. It is concluded that 
this cultural belief system is an interesting transaction path between objective social reality 
and subjective fantasies
