Secrets of the Talking Jaguar, Memoirs from the Living Heart of a Mayan Village by Martin Prechtel is a memoir of Prechtel's time in Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala where he was initiated as a Shaman.
The book is at times fascinating and at other times tiring and hard to follow because of Prechtel's writing style.
However, the Mayan language is rich and poetic and informs their way of life; if you are interested in Mayan culture it is a worthwhile read.
