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\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUsed Book in Good Condition\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49675030626544,"sku":"NEW0874779707","price":14.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/secrets-of-the-talking-jaguar-memoirs-from-the-living-heart","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
