I would also like to add to this esteemed list, though the stories unfolds like a magical, synchronistic tales that may seem fictional , they are glimpses into the shamanic life of Martin Prechtel and the astonishing depth, beauty and complexity of remote village life of Tz'utujil Maya of Guatemala as it struggled to hold fast to it's spiritual and cultural practices in the midst of encroaching modernity.

•  'Secrets of the Talking Jaguar' Memoirs from the Living Heart of a Mayan Village

•  "The Unlikley Peace of Cuchumaquic' -The Parallel Lives of People as Plants: Keeping the Seeds Alive . This might be a good to start the new Seed year with!

• 'Long Life Honey in the Heart" - A Story of Initiation and Eloquence from the Shores of a Mayan Lake

Martin is one of the most eloquent writers I have ever encountered. The magic his story telling weaves is something that is impossible for me to describe. It must be felt. His words will activate dormant places within and rouse deep cellular and soul memory. I HIGHLY recommend for anyone in this tribe called, to read his words 💫( some of his books are also available on Audible with Martin narrating the tales. So good!)
