The Maya have been feeding the tree at the center of the world for 3,000 years. The details of the rituals have changed, but the differences do not belie the underlying continuity in the way they think of the world. It is alive, and all sacred things in it—including things we would call alive and things we would call inanimate—have soul.

Virtually everything important to Zinacantecos also possesses a CH'ULEL [soul], domestic animals and plants, salt, houses and household fires, crosses, the saints, musical instruments, maize, and all the other deities in the pantheon. The most important interaction in the universe is not between persons and objects, but among the innate souls of persons aqnd inanimate objects.
