Tiempo, Cosmos Y Religión Del Pueblo Ayuuk (Mexico)

This book is a study of the time and space, the calendar and the religion of the Ayuuk people (Oaxaca, Mexico). Time-space is a line that goes from top to bottom, where what happened is left below and what is about to happen will come from above.
The universe has four major directions: east, north, west and south, associated with red, white, yellow and black colors and with year chargers reed, flint, house and deer, respectively. The cosmos has three levels: overworld, face of the earth and underworld. The face of the earth coincides with the face of the sky, forming a sacred space called nääxwiiny-tsajpwiiny, the place where we live.
In the field of religion, the primordial gods Tääy-Jëkëëny are spoken of, who are invoked when beginning the celebration of religious cults. Also speak of other gods or divine beings like Kontoy and Tajëëw.
