A 61-year-old woman has been convicted of stealing human remains from cemeteries for religious rituals.

A New Jersey prosecutor said Miriam Mirabal ordered the theft of three people's remains from Newark cemeteries in 2001 and 2002 so they could be placed in cauldrons for rituals in which spirits of the dead are called up to cast misfortune on others.

Authorities alleged Mirabal was a high priestess in the Palo Mayombe cult.

I had never heard of Palo Mayombe, so I did a little research. Here is a little more information about this religion.(It's a cult because it's African in origin, right?)
