Críticas:

""Fate, Fortune, and Mysticism in the Peruvian Amazon" is a fantastic book. In this 122 page text you'll learn about naipes cards, divination and fortune telling, the social and economic make up of Peru, the Septrionic Order, and more! I can't recommend this book enough."

"An insightful account of one anthropologist's journey from objective fieldworker to mystical practitioner. By using fortune-telling cards to illuminate the challenges facing her Peruvian clients, Marlene Dobkin de Rios came to understand their desire to face their destiny. Along the way, she found her own destiny as well."

"Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect . . . this lean, mean text explains it all in amazing detail as well as offering loads of other information!"

"Part memoir, part introduction to the techniques of managing the future, "Fate, Fortune, and Mysticism in the Peruvian Amazon" is written with the scientific mind of an anthropologist and the spiritual heart of a shaman. A must read!"
