Pagan Rituals and Beliefs Among the Chontal Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico is a comprehensive study of the religious practices and beliefs of the Chontal Indians, an indigenous group living in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Written by Pedro Carrasco, an anthropologist who lived among the Chontal for several years, the book provides a detailed account of their cosmology, mythology, and ritual practices, including their use of hallucinogenic plants, such as peyote and morning glory seeds, in their religious ceremonies. The book also explores the ways in which Chontal religious beliefs and practices have been influenced by Catholicism and other outside forces, and how they have evolved over time. Overall, Pagan Rituals and Beliefs Among the Chontal Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico offers a fascinating glimpse into the spiritual world of one of Mexico's most unique and intriguing indigenous groups.From Anthropological Records, V20, No. 3.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
