Corazón del monte
En el sur de Veracruz, México. En Santiago Tuxtla. Hay una representación del jaguar que se ha mantenido vigente, a pesar del cambio generacional y el inevitable paso del tiempo. Ellos son: "Los liceres". Un baile que quizás alguna vez fue parte de algún tipo de ritual olmeca, para venerar al jaguar, pedir lluvias, que servirían para cosechar el maíz, sustento de nuestra gente.
The rites around the jaguar, in any of the Mesoamerican cultures, represent the symbolic imagery of this feline. Each people presents in its own way the fundamental ideas or beliefs, the concept and the interpretation of forces that are beyond the control of man. Human beings have always loved to think that there are more powerful forces than us.
