What reading level is Latin American Mythology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was a black and semi-transparent stone, of a finer grade than that called chay (obsidian). In its trans- parency, the demon revealed to them what should be their final decision. " This passage is not the only indication of the employment of divination by crystal gazing in primitive America; and it is even possible that the translucent green stones so widely valued were primarily sacred because of divinatory properties. Not all sacred stones were of the emerald hue, however; for in the Cakc...hiquel narrative one of the deeds of Gagavitz is the ascent of a volcano where, it is said, he con- quered the fire, bringing it captive in the form of a stone called Gak Chog, which, the chronicler is at pains to state, is not a green stone.
The mythic affinities of the Cakchiquel narrative are already apparent in the passages quoted. The city of Tulan (frequently "Tullan" in the text) is clearly become a name for certain cosmic stations, namely the houses of sunrise, sunset, zenith ("where is God"), and nadir (Tulan of Xibalbay, the under- world).
