These documentary photographs capture the remarkable life of famed Mexican healer Nino Fidencio (1898-1938), his enduring power, and the practices and pilgrimages that continue in his name.

Niño Fidencio was a Mexican folk healer who lived in the northern state of Nuevo Leon in the early part of the twentieth century. When he died at the age of forty in 1938, he was the country's most prominent healer. This book presents a reverential look at the experiences of his contemporary followers through the author's documentary photographs. It is a fascinating glimpse into a little-known phenomenon as well as a testament to the power of belief.

In El Niño Fidencio: Libro de las Sagradas Escrituras, anthropologist Dr. Antonio "Tony" Zavaleta has painstakingly prepared the 71 original scriptures left by José Fidencio Sintora Constantino, El Niño Fidencio (1898-1938) to his followers. The Escrituras are the scriptural teachings of El Niño when he walked the earth and are also the basis of a core-belief system imparted to by the Niño Fidencio known as Fidencismo. The early-era Escrituras begin in 1925 and continue until El Niño's death in 1938. They were handwritten by his followers as they intently listened to him speak. Since they have never been published before, the Sagradas Escrituras represent the foundation for Fidencio's belief system. This is the first time that they are available to be studied by his followers and others.

This fascinating true story chronicles one man's journey into the mysteries of spiritual consciousness and the indigenous healing practices of four shamanistic traditions: Toltec, Cherokee, Maya, and Buddhist. In his travels around the globe, Rosales witnesses the powerful channeled spirit Niño Fidencio, receives messages and healing from a Toltec shaman, and experiences a dramatic soul retrieval from a Cherokee spiritwalker. Rosales travels to Guatemala, where he meets a Mayan high priestess, or a'j' r'ij, and the secret brotherhoods called cofradias, whose mission is to guard Maximón, the last living Mayan god. Rosales's last journey is to Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, where he spends time with a holy lama.

Si, ademas de la realidad, algo se opone a lo uniforme, son las cronicas urbanas de personajes y creencias. Asi, por ejemplo. Este auge de lo diverso admite la convivencia, divertida o resignada, contradictoria y complementaria, de Luis Miguel y el Niño Fidencio, de El Santo, el enmascarado de Plata, y el Metro, de Sting y los coleccionistas de pintura virreinal. Lo antes mencionado, en un sentido digamos que positivo, apunta al caos, en esta oportunidad no la alteracion de la jerarquias sino la gana de vivir como si las jerarquias no estuviesen aqui, sobre uno y dentro de uno. Y el caos (en el sentido de marejada del relajo y sueño de la trascendencia) usa tambien de esas fijezas en el tumulto que llamamos rituales. Aunque no se perciba, en las grandes ciudadeslas jerarquias se mantienen rigidas y, al mismo tiempo, las jerarquias pierden su lugar y se deshacen en la trampa de los sentidos, en el embotellamiento de seres automoviles, pasiones, circunstancias. Y mientras esto acontece, son los rituales, esa ultima etapa de permanencia, los que insisten en la fluidez de lo nacional. En la mas intensa de las transformaciones concebibles, las ceremonias, objeto de estas cronicas, aportan las ultimas pruebas de continuidad
