Powerful sacred places. Three candles in plastic containers sit on a rock in the jungle surrounded by prickly undergrowth. Plastic flowers and an empty gourd join burned down candles in an abandoned and broken school house.

Negative energies are dispelled. Shapeshifters causing havoc are thwarted. The impossible is possible and lives are changed. This is real magic. Raw, unapologetic, power. The stuff of Mayan fairytales. I believe. Do you? To join me exploring the real magic of the Maya up close and in person here in Mexico, learn about our SPIRITUAL JOURNEYS.
