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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52338699108640,"sku":"USED0874779707","price":13.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81-B9vnj6qL_4226c70a-0567-4a88-8234-6ecf22c3e450.jpg?v=1789104488","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/secrets-of-the-talking-jaguar-memoirs-from-the-living-heart-of-a-mayan-village-0874779707-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
