	In Response To: smoking and enemas with underworld contexts (poenadare) : Pathways Into Darkness: The Search For The Road To Xibalba : Barbara Mac Leod : University of Texas, Austin : Dennis E. Puleston : University of Minnesota : http://www.mesoweb.com/pari/publications/rt04/Pathways.pdf : Oh man, this is great. : Quote: For those who see particular significance in the association of : smoking and enemas with underworld contexts, it may be worth noting that : one Lacandon informant has been recorded as saying that Cizin, as lord of : the underworld, burns the soul of the dead first on the mouth and anus. : When the soul complains, it is doused with cold water until it protests : again, when it is given more mouth/anus treatment, and so forth, until the : soul is gone. The soul, presumably in some way transformed, then goes on : the Sucuncyum who spits on his hand and washes the soul, which is finally : free to go wherever it likes. : Quote: One of the sites has many petroglyphs, which include step-frets in : series of seven, cloud symbols, and the Union Jack — a possible variant of : the day sign Akbal. An alternative interpretation is that of a prophetic : anticipation of future British dominion on the part of the Maya! : Quote: A series of replication experiments was undertaken by Mac Leod during : 1972 and 1973 in which all of the conditions, ritual bloodletting : excepted, were self-imposed by the investigators. Sites were chosen for : extended stays in total darkness. : Good find Hamish. Pathways Into Darkness rated AO. Cheers Hamish
