Sastun: One Woman's Apprenticeship with a Maya Healer and Their Efforts to Save the Vani Sastun: One Woman’s Apprenticeship with a Maya Healer and Their Efforts to Save the Vani by Rosita Arvigo



My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was an incredible story! Rosita Arvigo’s tale of becoming a Mayan Shaman’s apprentice has me thinking about our relationships to plants (Good for Gaia-writing!) Each chapter is headed by a paticular plant or herb, it’s Mayan name, scientific name, and common name. and a wonderful description of the healing properties of the plant. The chapter then relays how they used this plant in a practical setting.

What amazed me most was how this “elderly” man hiked up mountains, pre-dawn each day to collect plants used for healing. He would often carry 50# loads back!

This is an easy read and over much to quickly!
