Our Lady Gaia
Our Lady Gaia cares for all of the trees, the flowers, the four-legged creatures, the creepy crawlers, the underground dwellers, the swimmers and the flyers in the world. She is their food and their home. She is the air they breathe, the rock they stand on, the water they drink, and the windy currents that blow against their skin. Because Lady Gaia provides such a loving home, she is loved in return by all beings. May we love her too.
Time and the Highland Maya
Described as a landmark in the ethnographic study of the Maya, this study of ritual and cosmology among the contemporary Quiché Indians of highland Guatemala has now been updated to address changes that have occurred in the last decade. The Classic Mayan obsession with time has never been better known. Here, Barbara Tedlock redirects our attention to the present-day keepers of the ancient calendar. Combining anthropology with formal apprenticeship to a diviner, she refutes long-held ethnographic assumptions and opens a door to the order of the Mayan cosmos and its daily ritual. Unable to visit the region for over ten years, Tedlock returned in 1989 to find that observance of the traditional calendar and religion is stronger than ever, despite a brutal civil war. ". . . a well-written, highly readable, and deeply convincing contribution. . . ." --Michael Coe
