"With the dry sticks of old struggles, rotting leaves of hard days lived the best we can, with the cattail fluff, hopeful grasses and eider-down of dreams lost we can, on the floating mounds of reeds and logs of our confusions drifting in spring’s rising flood of grief’s liquid beauty, build together a beautiful nesty house for the diverse flocks of the Divine in Nature, in whose tangible heart called the world, we humans are given the blessings of the chance to kiss, push, eat, jump, fail and try again. ~Martín Prechtel Come with Martín Prechtel to help him make a

The Toe Bone and the Tooth (Thorsons/HarperCollins 2003) "Perhaps most remarkable is the luminous eloquence of Prechtel's language-the book is written in a style that carries something of the flavor of the indigenous oral tradition, a style worthy of the reverence accorded by most oral peoples to the beauty of living language. It's a landmark text...Don't miss it." —David Abram
A master of eloquence and innovative language, Martín Prechtel is a leading thinker, writer and teacher whose work, both written and oral, hopes to promote the subtlety, irony and pre-modern vitality hidden in any living language. His life, the well known subject of his previous books Secrets of the Talking Jaguar and Long Life, Honey in the Heart, took him from his native New Mexico upbringing, as a half-blood Native American, from a Pueblo Indian reservation to the village of Santiago Atitlan where he eventually served the Tzutujil Mayan population as a full village member becoming a principal in the body of village leaders, responsible for instructing the young people in the meanings of their ancient stories that took place in the rituals of adult rights of passage.
Martín once again resides in his native New Mexico. Teaching internationally through story, music, ritual and writing, Martín helps people in many lands to retain their diversity while remembering their own sense of place in the daily sacred through the search for the Indigenous Soul. Broadly cherished, Martín’s third book, The Disobedience of the Daughter of the Sun: Ecstasy and Time, has become a runaway, underground hit. Martín’s fourth book, The Toe Bone and the Tooth was enthusiastically received in 2003 and will be available in paperback in April 2004.

"Prechtel...shows us how to infuse language with spirit and a sense of the sacred without sacrificing its sensuousness... how a trained bard of a traditionalist society might attack a writing project- with all 20 layers transparent and tingling!"
—Steven Larson,
for Common Boundary
"The Mayan Gods, who hold eloquence above all else, must surely be pleased with this soul, who in this lifetime is named Martín Prechtel." —Clarissa Pinkola Estés,
Ph.D., author of Women Who Run With Wolves
"A lyrical, haunting memoir of one man's spiritual rebirth... "Long Life, Honey in the Heart" is a cry from the heart — a lonely yearning for an ancient, beautiful culture now gone forever." —Iris Chang, author of The Rape of Nanking
"It's a precious thing, this book. I've never known another like it. It's a great encyclopedia of beauty... Like some poems of Neruda's, it is a treasure house of language, in service to life." —Robert Bly
(author of "The Spell of the Sensuous")
"Martín Prechtel is one of the most profound teachers I have ever encountered. He is an unusually gifted artist, musician, storyteller who guides and initiates with passion, kindness, eloquence, wisdom, fierceness and humor, awakening us to the sacred realities present everywhere at all times. To be with Martín is to remember the forgotten divinity that is the very essence of who we are."—Rabbi Aryeh Hirschfield
