We live on land we feel deeply connected to, yet far from the communities and contexts that shaped our ancestral traditions. This book comes out of that in-between space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColonial histories often portray the Aztec\/Mexika as obsessed with bloodthirsty gods and ritual violence. But when we turn to Indigenous sources, a different picture emerges: a sophisticated worldview shaped by close observation of nature, reflection, and lived experience. It is a system that makes room for myth as symbolic storytelling and for inquiry as a sacred act.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book invites readers to see Aztec\/Mexika thought as a form of natural pantheism, where the universe itself is sacred. It also offers clear, practical guidance for engaging the ceremonial calendar in ways that make sense in the modern world. It is most effectively utilized as a companion to the Aztec\/Mexika calendar \"A Mexican Count of Days,\" published annually by the same author.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kurly Tlapoyawa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chimalli Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218932169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTlapoyawa, Kurly:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Kurly Tlapoyawa is an Indigenous Chicano archaeologist, ethnohistorian, and filmmaker who lives in Albuquerque, NM.
