The twenty-seven lunar mansions or nakshatras are a unique zodiac that has been used in India for some 5,000 years. The lunar mansions lie at the very origins of Hindu astrology, and they are rich in the myth, legend and lore of ancient India. 
Kenneth Johnson, mythologist and astrologer, provides us with a colorful introduction to these "mansions of the moon." The lunar mansions are introduced and explained as an entire system or astrological paradigm, and each mansion is vividly described so that the reader, even one with the only most basic knowledge of astrology, can come to understand their own birth mansions. The second part of the book explores the mysteries of the lunar mansions and leads the reader upon a journey through ancient myths and stories to reveal how the mansions embody the life cycle of an archaic Goddess, and the Alchemical Wedding. Beyond that, they constitute an authentic "calendar of the stars" which is not only in the sky but within each and every one of us.

The decision to revise and reprint Jaguar Wisdom was an almost spontaneous (re)creation process. The groundswell was generating from independent Maya scholars and seekers alike, each looking for some understanding of just what the Maya were envisioning in the creation of their famous calendar system. While the approach of the controversial December 21, 2012 date may be one of the reasons for the revival of Kenneth Johnson s book it, it is equally clear that the revision has come about because of Mr. Johnson s thorough research in this book. He has cut away all the speculations and theories of these End Times and focused on the history and contemporary use of the Maya Calendar system, a traditional system that is still vital, and practiced and has survived for centuries. Jaguar Wisdom is the only readily available book written with the assistance and cooperation of traditional Mayan Daykeepers, and Mr. Johnson has given us their insights while unraveling the mysteries of the Sacred Calendar with detailed explanations of the mythological meanings of the twenty day-signs. He has explored the ways of the Mesoamerican shamans who have preserved the traditional heritage of their Mayan ancestors along with techniques that are the products of centuries of their experience. Here is an important and authentic approach to understanding the indigenous shamanism of the Maya and their system of time keeping.
