A collection of Nahuatl prayers, incantations and ritual speech across time and space. This book intends to present the reader with a collection of recorded or transcribed ritual practices in the Nahuatl language, combining those three major periods: (1) Precolonial incantations in the Aztec/Mexicah state based on their descriptions in the mid 1500s, (2) Colonial period rituals led by community-based shamans while they were oppressed by Catholic institutions, and (3) modern day rituals which have been preserved in Nahuatl yet shaped by time. As Nahuatl culture was likely already diverse in precolonial times, the reader will experience a wide range of ritual speech across regions and across a period of 500 years.
