- A novel of: Magic, Adventure, Mysticism and Romance, ancient mysteries in our modern world. Twenty-one year old Cali Cleary is more comfortable with animals than humans. She dreams of jaguars as a Mayan Shaman sings to her in the old language of her mother’s people, the Jaguars of Colombia. Half Irish, half Kogi Indian, she’s a 6’2” woman encased in a 5’2” body. Dark brown eyes and bronze skin complemented her red and golden mane. As she bears the colors of the jaguar, she also carries the old blood of the ancient animists. Animism, the first religion of indigenous cultures is based on the interconnectedness between people, nature and fellow creatures. Every culture, every continent began with this first religion. The Maya today still practice this religion, believing that all animals, plants, even mountains and rivers are animated, have agency and free will, that soul and sentience is not limited to humans. They listen and hear those “other voices” today. But to a young woman, raised as a Catholic in America, the animals were silent. Until now. A Mayan myth becomes a modern day treasure hunt when a stone map is found that leads to a legendary tomb. But only one woman possesses the “magic” necessary to unlock the ancient secrets. Assisted by a uniquely talented group of friends, Cali Cleary travels to the jungles of Guatemala and Colombia not merely for clues to the fabled treasure but for answers about her heritage, her strange powers and the secret cult of the jaguar. This tale began three thousand years ago with the marriage of a Jaguar princess and Mayan Lord from the north. Our story begins when the invitation to that wedding is discovered in long abandoned ruins in Guatemala.
