[...] Legend says the wood from this tree was used to create a species of pseudo-humans during one of the early Maya creations. Today it is used to carve statues of Maximón (see Revue feature, June 2011). [...]

Bushman, nice article, graceful and interesting. As with Voudou and other systems of magical thought, those who try to “grasp it” will fail, but those who need to use it, supplicate it, or enjoy it may do so at any time.

A very interesting article. Reminds me of the “Inner Tao” of China (bce). It is a “small world”.

Great article, I love the mysteries of the different cultural ceremonies; when the belief and spirit join so much is possible. There are so many wonders upon the earth that can never be completely understood, but to those that receive the gifts, it will probably never be forgotten. The experiences are as varied as the individuals and contain the richess earth moments. Sulpayki brother Jah for sharing-Blessings

I liked the article and the photos very much. I learned a lot also. Maximon certainly has some relation to Coyote and Owl in North American tribes. I think this word “belief” needs to be examined carefully because it is really part and parcel of the Western religions. Thor is writing here about direct experience, not belief. The article just oozes direct experience. It is only the Western scientific mind, and Western religion, that would hold what was reported up to rational scrutiny. A well written, great article!
