註釋Here are stories from a shaman named Grandmother Mila. Carlotta has lovingly gathered and recalled many stories that are rooted in the Mayan tradition of the Popol Voh. These stories are important because the culture of the Yucatan carries with it a tremendous wisdom and knowledge that includes astrology, astronomy, and a deeply spiritual sense of science. It has been pointed out by contemporary scientific researchers that the tradition of Mayan culture can explain away many aspects of modern deprivation found in contemporary society. The spirituality of the Mayan culture can be studied as an anthropological gem of a text. More important it is the testimony of great faith demonstrated by a grandchild who never gave up on the true source of her inspiration. Carlotta's devotion to the cause of ethnic preservation of Mayan culture shows great bravery, courage, and daring. Adopted by her grandmother at the age of three, Carlotta could have buried these memories of her magical childhood. But she did not. She began recording all her memories that are reflected in her paintings and also in her inspirational and visionary words. Both of Carlotta's talents reflect the fact that the Mayan art of story-telling is alive and well. Expect these stories to be surrendered here to the very open arms of a very welcoming audience. A must read, a good read, and an unbelievably magic saga. It would be impossible to read this book and not realize your heart and mind was awakened to new portals of consciousness we have known but not have felt all along.
