The Magic and Mysteries of Mexico
$20.00
In The Magic and Mysteries of Mexico, Lewis Spence leads readers deep into the twilight world of ancient Aztec and Maya belief, where religion and sorcery, myth and history, intertwine in strange and captivating ways. Drawing from decades of study, Spence uncovers the arcane sciences, astrological lore, and occult philosophies that once animated the temples of Tenochtitlan and the jungles of Yucatán. With the authority of a scholar and the imagination of a storyteller, he reconstructs a civilization where gods demanded blood for rain, demons haunted the night skies, and magicians claimed kinship with jaguars and stars. Learned yet luminous with wonder, the book transforms anthropology into an adventure of the mind—an exploration of humanity’s oldest enchantments and the mystical pulse that beats beneath the ruins of Mexico.
