Where is Catemaco?
http://www.catemaco.info/s/
Catemaco
this community has been
A power center for supernatural
Events .
Cleansings
The main business of Catemaco are cleansings, performed by the wizards &
shamans who have set up shops. In this process they free peoples auras of
bad vibes and bad fortune and they can also tell the future through the
reading of cards. This is the main attraction for tourists.
Tourists also like to take boat tours through the surrounding lagoons of
Catemaco. Here, the boatman will stop and people can scoop up the nutrientrich mud and spread it on their bodies to enrich their skin. This mud is said to
have healing and rejuvenating effects.

SHAMANS
Most shamans are male, and many of the shamans of Catemaco are born
into their profession. However, it is not their parents who pass on the gift of
sorcery; it is a gift that they are born with, no matter their origins. In fact, in
once case, the daughter of a male shaman was born with the gift of magic,
and her father tried to prevent her fom following the tradition. Why?
Because there are different forms of magic: white and black (good and
evil)
