Arriving at Santiago Atitlan, a Tzutujil Mayan village on the breathtaking shores of Lake Atitlan, \u003cb\u003ePrechtel\u003c\/b\u003e met Nicolas Chiviliu Tacaxoy--perhaps the most famous shaman in Tzutujil history--who believed \u003cb\u003ePrechtel\u003c\/b\u003e was the new student he had asked the gods to provide. For the next thirteen years, \u003cb\u003ePrechtel\u003c\/b\u003e studied the ancient Tzutujil culture and became a village chief and a famous shaman in his own right.In \u003cb\u003eSecrets of the Talking Jaguar\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003ePrechtel\u003c\/b\u003e 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.","brand":"Tarcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43406786134271,"sku":"9780874779707","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780874779707_s600x595.jpg?v=1775597945","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780874779707","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
