Tuesday, November 25, 2003 Ancient spirits?Hi guys,Thanks Geoff for the Mexican thrust! We visited Chichen-Itza, some ruins in Cancun. Another site here. Pretty amazing site, and history, and well worth a visit for those who enjoy the ancient lore. Apparently Pavarotti sang there in April 1997... and they say it was rather spectacular. Well, we were with a large bunch of christians, and some of them were pretty sensitive to what they felt was evil spirits. Well, guess I believed them, as there was a pool of green stagnant water from way back and was a sacrificial pool! They had some pretty weird traditions. EG, they had this game (in the "Ball Park") they played and the winner got his head chopped off! Worse.... it was a priviledge! The wives were always volunteering their husbands for the game....... not because they wanted to get rid of them, but because it was a HUGE priviledge to have ones husband sacrificed to the gods!!!! Oh yes, there was a platform of skulls too. Morbid stuff. Fascinating. If it had been a few degrees cooler, I might have had more energy to enjoy it more. When we got on the bus to go back to the hotel, one woman came to the front of the bus and announced she was prompted to pray for cleansing for all of us, as we may have some evil spirits attached to us. Startling though it may have seemed, it felt a good idea somehow! She got a pretty hearty "amen" I can tell you! More coming....... watch this spot...... # posted by Caroline @ 10:41 pm 0 comments
