Raphael Girard
In this authoritative study, Professor Girard emphasizes the spiritual nature of Mayan tradition and their understanding of its importance in the journey to achieve human perfection. His book “demonstrates beyond question that at the heart of Maya religion and custom there is a sophisticated spiritual philosophy with clear correspondences not only to ancient Mexican as well as Andean cosmogony and creation mythology, but also to the mythoi and cultures of other parts of the world” (from the preface).
