Description

Unveil the Mythology of the Americas!
Journey into the sacred temples of Mesoamerica, the mist-shrouded Andes, and the vast forests and plains of North America with the Encyclopedia of Mythical Creatures: Mesoamerican, South and North American Mythology Volume. This beautifully illustrated bestiary reveals a world where feathered serpents, mountain guardians, cannibal spirits, and shapeshifting tricksters shaped centuries of belief, ritual, and storytelling.

Discover Legendary Beings and Ancient Wonders:
From the feathered coils of Quetzalcoatl to the obsidian wings of Itzpapalotl, from the vampiric cries of the Tlahuelpuchi to the thunderous battles of the Thunderbird, each entry explores the origins of myths passed through oral traditions, sacred chants, and ancestral memory. Rooted in the cosmologies of the Aztec, Maya, Inca, and Indigenous nations across the Americas, this volume breathes life into creatures who guarded treasures, punished the wicked, and danced in storm, shadow, and flame.

Captivating Artwork for Every Creature:
Each being is reborn through luminous watercolor illustrations, capturing both their beauty and terror. Scholars, storytellers, and dreamers alike will find inspiration in these pages, where every brushstroke evokes the awe and mystery of lands rich in myth.
