About This Item

New York: Jeremy P. Tarcher / Putnam, 1998. Boards in dust jacket. Light shelfwear. Very Good. 284 pp. Foreword by Robert Bly. A shaman and leader of the men's movement offers a rare glimpse into the complex, joyful culture of contemporary Mayan village life and spirituality, expounding its teaching that all humans possess an innate spirit of generosity and community.

Synopsis

Twenty-five years ago, a young musician and painter named Martin Prechtel wandered through the brilliant landscapes of Mexico and Guatemala. Arriving at Santiago Atitlan, a Tzutujil Mayan village on the breathtaking shores of Lake Atitlan, Prechtel met Nicolas Chiviliu Tacaxoy--perhaps the most famous shaman in Tzutujil history--who believed Prechtel was the new student he had asked the gods to provide. For the next thirteen years, Prechtel studied the ancient Tzutujil culture and became a village chief and a famous shaman in his own right. In Secrets of the Talking Jaguar , Prechtel brings to vivid life the sights, sounds, scents, and colors of Santiago Atitlan: its magical personalities, its beauty, its material poverty and spiritual richness, its eight-hundred-year-old rituals juxtaposed with quintessential small-town gossip. The story of his education is a tale filled with enchantment, danger, passion, and hope.
