Larvae ; The devil's tick ; Chamán -- Caxcan: an epilogue."In the tradition of parent-child memoirs from The Liar's Club to The Glass Castle, here is the haunting story of a daughter's quest to understand her father, to save him from his own demons and to save herself from following his self-destructive path. Marco Antonio was born in Mexico but as a teenager migrated with his large family north to California, where he met Jean's mother, a young Puerto Rican woman just out of med school. Marco was a self-taught genius at fixing and creating things--including a mythology about himself as a shaman, a dreamcaster, and an animal whisperer, rather than the failed father, husband, and son he feared he was. Before long Marco goes on the run from his family and responsibilities--to Asia, to Europe, and eventually back to Mexico--with long crack and whiskey binges, suffering from what he claimed were CIA mind control experiments. As soon as she's old enough, Jean follows. Using her skills as a journalist, and her lifelong obsessions with the fuzzy lines between truth and fantasy, Jean searches for explanations for her father's behavior other than schizophrenia, the diagnosis her mother whispered to Jean when she was still a child. She takes his wildest claims seriously and investigates them. She interviews cousins and grandparents and discovers a chain of fabulists and mystics, going back to her great great grandmother, a clairvoyant curandera who was paid to summon forth voices and visions from the afterlife. She begins mirroring her father's self-destructive behavior in her own wild experiements with sex and drugs and her flirtations with death in jungles and the middle of the sea. She risks everything in her quest to understand and redeem her father from the underworld of his obsessions and delusions and self-destruction"--

Meditaciones toltecas para el día a día : el despertar de la conciencia / by Ruiz, Miguel,1952-author.; Martí Pérez, Núria,translator.;
"Por primera vez, un libro de meditaciones para el día a día basado en la sabiduría tolteca. Don Miguel Ruiz Jr., hijo del mítico chamán mexicano, vuelve con el primer libro de meditaciones creado para guiar, inspirar e iluminar a los lectores occidentales día a día por el sendero del nagual. La sabiduría tolteca enseña a sus guerreros a superar el espejismo de lo que llamamos realidad con el fin de conocer la libertad y la plena consciencia. Pero esa capacidad no es exclusiva de los chamanes del desierto. Si seguimos el camino del guerrero, todos podemos conocer la verdad y el amor que nos aguardan al otro lado del velo. La nueva obra de Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. ofrece a los lectores, sea cual sea su grado de conocimiento de la sabiduría tolteca, la oportunidad de emprender este sendero de autodescubrimiento. A lo largo de seis meses, durante unos minutos diarios, un reconocido chaman nos ayudará con sus poderosas meditaciones a acallar la mente, a superar el ego, a identificar los acuerdos que nos limitan... El objetivo? Acceder a la perfección y al amor incondicional que florecen en una vida consciente."--Amazon
