Where did they find a Mayan Shaman?

@axemen: It's not like they all disappeared into another dimension (really, not Atlantis either). Their descendants live all throughout the Yucatan, Belieze, Guatamala, and so on. Many have settled here in my neighborhood and started a new trend in Latino cuisine (Salvadoreno-style tamales are sooo much better than the Northern Mexican ones). A good many of them still follow the old traditions blended with Catholicism. They ain't magic sages, just plain folk. Still, they are probably not above screwing with gullible new-age types for a fast peso.

@Grey_Area: I think thats a Mayan, but a Mayan Shaman? Thats a burro of a different color. Unless they put some of their shaman magic into those tamales.

@Fishypu: "Shamanism" is just a kind of religion-spiritual tradition. It doesn't mean they can put down mana stream totems, or whatever, it just means they're initiates into the old religion. It's like being a Houngan or a Witch Doctor or a Priest.
