"Modern Maya Magic" with Solomon Pakal

“Modern Maya Magic: Divination, Thaumaturgy, and Theurgy Maintained and Expanded by Diasporic Maya Communities” with Solomon Pakal Far from the romanticized portrayals of ancient Maya civilization frozen in time, contemporary Maya magical practices continue to evolve and flourish within diasporic communities across the Americas. This presentation explores how Maya practitioners have not only preserved their ancestral traditions but have actively expanded and refined them through cross-cultural engagement, academic research integration, and adaptive innovation. Drawing from firsthand experience within a Kaqchikel family tradition, this talk examines three primary domains of Maya magical practice: divination (the art of perceiving hidden knowledge), thaumaturgy (practical magic for material outcomes), and theurgy (mystical practices for spiritual elevation). Unlike the widely documented Daykeeper traditions focused on calendar maintenance, this presentation reveals alternative currents within Maya practice that emphasize planetary influences, sophisticated ritual techniques, and integration with contemporary scholarly discoveries. The discussion will address how diasporic Maya communities have leveraged economic mobility, educational access, and cultural exchange to deepen their understanding of ancestral practices. Attendees will learn how archaeological findings and anthropological research serve not merely as historical curiosities but as practical tools for enhancing traditional magical operations. The presentation demonstrates how ancient wisdom systems can be strengthened rather than diminished by modern knowledge, creating hybrid approaches that maintain cultural authenticity while embracing innovative applications. Solomon Pakal is an occult practitioner of over 20 years in numerous esoteric paths. He is a historian, former United States Army Officer, former professional and amateur athlete, and Combat Sports Analyst. He is of Kaqchikel Maya descent.
