Occult Philosophy

Praise for this book

“It is refreshing to see an honest effort to tap UFO reports from an older society not nearly so influenced by movies, TV, hoaxers, etc. as ours. I am not surprised that Ardy, with considerable effort, was able to dig out reports from Mayans. I hope she will continue her work and share it with those of us serious about such matters.”
— Stanton T. Friedman, MSc., author of Flying Saucers and Science

Fun Fact
Dr. Clarke's "Sky People" is a remarkable feat of dedicated ethnographic exploration, offering a rare glimpse into the spiritual and experiential world of Mesoamerica's indigenous communities. While it won't satisfy those seeking empirical scientific evidence, it richly rewards readers open to profound, culturally embedded accounts of non-human contact. This book carves out a vital space in the UFO discourse, emphasizing human narrative and ancestral wisdom, rather than just technological speculation. A truly unique and thought-provoking addition to any esoteric library.

📝 Description: Sky People: Untold Stories of Alien Encounters in Mesoamerica

Dr. Ardy Sixkiller Clarke, author of Encounters With Star People, vowed as a teenager to follow in the footsteps of two 19th-century explorers, John L. Stephens and Frederick Catherwood, who brought the ancient Maya cities to the world's attention. Dr. Clarke set out on a seven-year adventure (from 2003 through 2010) through Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico, collecting stories of encounters, sky gods, giants, little people, and aliens among the indigenous people. She drove more than 12,000 miles, visiting 89 archaeological sites (Stephens and Catherwood visited only 44) and conducting nearly 100 individual interviews. The result is an enthralling series of unique, original, true stories of encounters with space travelers, giants, little people, and UFOs. Sky People may very well change the way you perceive and experience the world.

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Clarke’s compilation is a compelling anthology of strange tales, yet it demands an open mind regarding its core premises. It will not suit readers who demand rigorous academic peer-review or those strictly adhering to mainstream archaeological consensus without room for fringe interpretation. The narrative relies heavily on anecdotal evidence and personal encounters rather than empirical data. However, for those interested in the cultural phenomenon of alien abduction stories within indigenous contexts, it serves as a valuable primary source document. It is best approached as a collection of folklore and modern mythos rather than hard science.
