Guatemalan shamanism and witchcraft

[Occult Forum Archive]

My wife is Guatemalan. During our visits to her family there, I discovered a Central American nation lurching into the 21st Century, where shamanism and witchcraft still influenced daily life.

There is, for instance, a village in South Eastern Guatemala my brother in law mentioned while in his cups, where everyone is supposedly a witch (bruja) or a warlock (brujo), and where -- for money -- you can have almost anything happen to your enemies.

Though that seemed absurd, I decided to research the subject and learned there are spirit energies Central America's have long experienced that mediate our material lives here in the middleworld.

Rather than bore with exposition, I wrote The Bruja's Tale, a mystery novel that deals with the subject. Check: http://www.thebrujastale.com for a five page of sample of what I provided in response.

This is, of course, a blatent self promotion. But those who want to follow the development of a truly reluctant shaman into the first stages of shamanistic enlightenment may find it worthwhile to buy the first book.

Itzamna and Kukulkan will bless you.

A blatant promotion in one forum (witchcraft) is bad enough. Why are you breaking forum policy twice with the same post? :eh:
