Produktbeschreibung
The mythologcal structure of gender orientation in modern society continues to embattle religious and political environments. Until now, much of the discourse has been whether gender expression is just a binary arena for either male or female. It has been argued whether same-sex desire is natural for centuries. The debates often completely omit various ancient references to homoeroticism as sacred. In the stunning, Tales of a Jaguar Magician, c. huilo c., has undertaken an enormous task and created a new series of gender 'frame-stories' to help change harmful, biased opinions. Rites of passage are illuminated as crucial to compassionately initiate a queer gendered being. Rather than presenting non-binary sex as a flaw, it is revered. Following the forum of fairytales, these fully illustrated texts, unfurl the creation myth of a multi-gendered being named, Lola. Heshe (a new pronoun) gathers wisdom on an arduous adventurer's quest. A whimsical cast of characters take Lola on a journey from the depths of the underworld to the heights of the heavens. During the challenge of initiations, Lola is informed of the precarious dilemma with fellow jaguar magicians (gay, trans or queer beings) on the Planet of Great Consciousness (Earth). Not only does Lola learn about their world, heshe also seeks to liberate all humans within Gaia's realm and help them ascend from 3rd dimensional dual consciousness into 5th dimensional's realm of 'one-love'. While a daunting task, the author has created 176 illustrations to help charm and ultimately shift the human 'dreaming mind'. Following a 5-act play-like structure, Tales of a Jaguar Magician, redeems readers by reminding them of the universal laws of compassion. Undoubtedly, the books' lyrical, bardic style tales will be referred to for years to come. Lastly, at some point everyone asks, "Who am I"? Often for good or bad, in the isolation and confusion of what it means to be human, stories and myths have been rewritten to impose prejudice within the current tribal or societal paradigm. Similar to the childhood game of 'telephone', where a story is passed from one to another by word of mouth, in the end, the group witnesses how a tale can dramatically change from its original form. Sadly, groups of society become scapegoated when a simple story becomes more complex, or a complex story becomes over simplified, and so on. Imagine what happens when a story was told in metaphor or poetic lyrics?

Autorenporträt
c. huilo c. is a full spectrum artist. Using various media formats to lift consciousness to new levels the author fully illustrates their books. c. huilo c. has exhibited and performed around the world. In each of their works, a phantasmagoric approach puts the view into a dream-like world of elves, wizards, ghouls and more. The writer is also a sculptor, performer, filmmaker, and painter. Noted by curators, is their sense of saturated colors that vibrate loudly on the canvas and dazzle the eyes. The sculptures, while abstract also illumined a sort of physical mythology about homoeroticism and the sacred. The characters in the books developed their own language and stir the cauldron of possibility using what the author terms, language of light, aka, queerly inspired. The author is a self-proclaimed wizard of sorts and has devoted their life to ecological recovery of the planet's life force, deeper discussion on why gender fluidity is inherently integral and important to the health of modern society. Tagged as a queer jester, lord of the dreamy phantasmagoria dragqueen a la magician, this author is one creative person. Early days they were inspired and heavily influenced by working in the adverstising world. Invoking techniques to shift perception and desire in positive ways, c. huilo c. uses strong references to symbolism. Beyond cultural appropriation, the author dances with all the stories told and brings new versions forward into the new millennia. Whether dancing with life size marrionettes on stage or behind the many masks they weave, c. huilo c. questions our reliance on identity as finite or fixed. If we are directors in our personal holosphere, who do we want to cast? The author is greatful to all their teachers and guides and now passes the baton to new generations in this and other tomes from Tales of a Jaguar Magician.
