Ritual of the Bicabs: A Book of Maya Incantations

Ritual of the Bicabs: A Book of Maya Incantations - Ralph L. Roys

Ritual of the Bicabs: A Book of Maya Incantations

"Roys has provided anthropologists, student of linguistics, and historians with an exceptional study of interest and value." The Americas "It deserves to rank with Popol Vuh and The Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel as the greatest of Maya documents yet published." Journal of the West The Mayas believed the four gods, the Bacabs, held up the sky. The Bacabs were also invoked to heal disease. Ritual of the Bacabs: A Book of Maya Incantations is the first English translation of this Maya manuscript, dating back to colonial times. Discovered in the early twentieth century, the manuscript's origins are traced to the golden period of Maya civilization. It contains incantations used to cure diseases of body and spirit, and it records the magic practiced among the Mayas-the most advanced Western civilization of antiquity. As in other ancient cultures, the Mayas believed that sickness was the manifestation of an evil spirit, which required exorcism. The shaman recited powerful incantations to banish evil spirits and cure such afflictions as asthma, fevers, skin eruptions, and seizures. Ritual of the Bacabs provides an exciting and enlightening portrait of ancient Maya religion, medicine, and magic. Volume 77 in The Civilization of the American Indian Series Ralph L. Roys was known worldwide for his work in Maya linguistics and was associated with the Carnegie Institution for many years. He was Research Professor of Anthropology at the University of Washington and translated and edited many other notable Maya documents, including The Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel.
