Witchcraft and pre-Columbian Paper (Brujerías y Papel Precolombino), by Bodil Christensen & Samuel Marti. 1979 softcover. 88 pages, very nice condition.

This book deals with the native Central American Indian use of paper in witchcraft, in ancient times and today. It begins with a short account of the actual technical process employed by the Indians, and then passes onto the various means which the Indians use to weave spells, seek help from the nature spirits, and appease the gods. It also delves into the historical aspect of Indian paper-making. A well-researched book on an obscure subject.
