An initiate’s inside account of ancient Maya spiritual practices alive today • Includes a Foreword by José Luis Tigüilá NABÉ kaxbaltzij, spokesperson of the Maya municipality • Details the initiation process the author went through to become a Maya shaman-priestess, including rituals, prayers, and ceremonies • Explains the foundational spiritual wisdom of the Maya calendar as a living entity, its cycles of time, and the significance of “the counting of the days”, which helps keep time itself alive • Examines the power of dance and Maya ceremonies, Maya future-telling, and communication with ancestors through the sacred fire Offering an insider’s experiential account of ancient Maya spiritual wisdom and practices, initiated Maya shaman-priestess Gabriela Jurosz-Landa opens up the mysterious world of the Maya, dispelling the rampant misinformation about their beliefs and traditions, sharing the transcendent beauty of their ceremonies, and explaining the Maya understanding of time, foundational to their spiritual worldview and cosmology. The author, an anthropologist, details the initiation process she went through to become a Maya shaman-priestess in Guatemala, including rituals, prayers, the presence of numinous forces, and the transmission of sacred knowledge. She explains the spiritual wisdom of the Maya calendar as a living entity, its cycles of time, and the significance of “the counting of the days,” which helps keep time itself alive. She examines Maya spiritual and cosmological concepts such as how the universe is shaped like a triangle over a square. She reveals the profound power of dance in Maya tradition, explaining how ritual dance halts the flow of time, reactivates primordial events, and captures vital energies that keep the Maya spiritual tradition vital and alive. Exploring other Maya secret knowledge, she also details Maya ritual attire, Maya future-telling with the calendar, the reading of the Tzi’te beans, and how the Maya communicate with ancestors through the sacred fire. Illustrating how contemporary Maya life is suffused with spiritual tradition and celebration, the author shares the teachings of the Maya from her initiate and anthropologist point of view in order to help us all learn from the ancient wisdom of their beliefs and worldview. Because, to truly understand the Maya, one must think like the Maya.

Described as a landmark in the ethnographic study of the Maya, this study of ritual and cosmology among the contemporary Quiché Indians of highland Guatemala has now been updated to address changes that have occurred in the last decade. The Classic Mayan obsession with time has never been better known. Here, Barbara Tedlock redirects our attention to the present-day keepers of the ancient calendar. Combining anthropology with formal apprenticeship to a diviner, she refutes long-held ethnographic assumptions and opens a door to the order of the Mayan cosmos and its daily ritual. Unable to visit the region for over ten years, Tedlock returned in 1989 to find that observance of the traditional calendar and religion is stronger than ever, despite a brutal civil war. ". . . a well-written, highly readable, and deeply convincing contribution. . . ." --Michael Coe

A specific shamanic initiation allowed governing elite or medicine men to communicate with nature deities. Banned by the Catholic Church as a satanic witchcraft, the shamanic ritual became a secret cult or disappeared. It was only briefly mentioned in indian chronicles, unwilling to draw attention of the powerful Inquisition. His predominance over pre-Columbian art is now gradually admitted, along with such concepts as : - the animal-Guardian Spirit, met through dreams or trances, - the spiritual travel experienced by the flying Shadow Soul, - the Vision Serpent embodied by the Feathered Serpent guide. This series upon Aztec, Maya, Inca and Toltec shamanism aim to faithfully summarize the available literature and information about ancien prehispanic rituals rituals (in Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Guatemala…). Contemporary testimonies of surviving shamanism in the Amazon rainforest will also help to understand old concepts. This second book of the series is devoted to the non-animal spirits appearing in pre-Columbian art (sculpture or paintings), like dwarfs for exemple. These supernatural spirits also depends on plants consumed, and on his own animal-Guardian Spirit. On maya bas-reliefs, governors are sometimes depicted facing a supernatural monster head, symbolizing the entrance to the Underworld.
