Enlivened with 102 photographs and 50 figures and maps, "Shamans,
Witches, and Maya Priests" explores the "old ways" that still
prevail in the Q'anjob'al, Akatek, and Chuj communities of the
remote northwestern Cuchumatan Mountains. Krystyna Deuss provides
vivid descriptions and images of the traditional rites and rituals
she witnessed during fifteen years of fieldwork. These sacred
moments include blood sacrifices for the good of the community and
private shamanic rituals--as well as black magic. Deuss also
includes a selection of the prayers she recorded.
