Esotericism of the Popol Vuh
By Raphael Girard
Translated from the Spanish by Blair A. Moffett
The Popol Vuh, an ancient American spiritual epic, is the Quiche
rendition of Mayan cosmic philosophy. In allegorical form it describes the origin of the
universe and of the gods, as well as their offspring -- mankind -- and the complex
evolutionary cycles they experience. Professor Girard spent many years among the Mayas in
Central America learning much from direct association with their Elders, and offers a
unique approach to the mysteries of native American thought.
