Episode 17: Solomon Pakal & Maya Polytheism

Polytheism Today Podcast Season 2

My guest today is Solomon Pakal, who was born and raised in the Latino Folk Magic scene of Washington DC. Solomon came to know and exercise his indigenous witchcraft roots over the span of two decades, while also cross-training and participating in various forms of spirituality ranging from Santeria, Ceremonial Magic, Nichiren Buddhism, and many more traditions.  He is a former United States Army Officer with experience in Latin America, the Indian Subcontinent, North and East Africa, and Central and Southern Europe.  Solomon actively works to educate about authentic Maya pagan practices through presentations and rituals at occult festivals, conferences, and museums.  As a former soldier and Mixed Martial Artist, his combat analysis frameworks bring a unique perspective to the mechanics underlying the many forms of the occult.
