inspiration for the story

Prologue: 

Many, many years ago, two souls met and fell in love in the magical Mayan world, but their story was interrupted by the intentions of the Priestess of the Sacred Cenote of Chichen Itza. Envious of the pure love between these two beings, the Priestess decides to sacrifice the young maiden and offer her blood to the god of rain, Chac.

Act I: 

The two spirits travel across time to reunite in a small plaza in Oaxaca, where their hearts recognize each other in spite of the time that has passed. In their first dance, they realize they are destined to love each other forever. But their journey will not be easy, as time has transformed the priestess into a powerful sorceress intent on breaking them apart. 

The territory of Guerrero is an ideal place for a marriage proposal. The young man offers his loved one a precious hankerchief (paliacate) as a symbol of their love and union. 

The welcoming streets of Michoacan are witness to the engagement betwen the two families. After the exchange of gifts, families and friends begin to prepare the celebration. 

The festive music of Aguascalientes marks the joy of the preparations. All the young maidens of the town help embroider the veil of the bride while the rest of the townsfolk decorate the plaza for the festivities. With everyone ready for the special occassion and guided by the bride and her maids of honor, all approach the divine ceremony that awaits. At a distance, the sorceress looks upon the merriment with fury, vowing to use her powers to bring an end to this union and have the last laugh.

Act II: 

An intimate, mestizo ceremony is the canvas upon which this eternal union of love is painted. A handkerchief, a piece of bread and a ceremonial bow, symbolize the fidelity, sustenance, and union they will share. 

A feast in Yucatan offered by and for the entire town, marks the highlight of the celebrations. The townsfolk lovingly weave a shelter over the newlyweds as a symbol of home and protection. 

As the festivities continue with the undeniable charm of the culture of Veracruz, the sorceress casts a spell on the helpless groom. Under its control, he succumbs to the seductive magic of the sorceress who is finally able to break their promise of love. 

“Only something supernatural could have made me do such a thing!” – thinks the young groom in his despair, understanding that only this could have overshadowed his eternal love. The sorceress returns with all the sensuality of Sinaloa continuing her attempt at conquest. This time, however, the young groom vows that inspite of her spells, his heart belongs only to his loved one. The sorceress, now with her heart shattered, swears to leave and never return. The beautiful bride, moved by her lover’s devotion and sincere words, forgives him, and they continue their love story, forever. THE END.
