Deep in the Amazon of Colombia the indigenous tribes understand life with the myths of the spirits, but they are not just stories.
For the tribes jaguars and anacondas do not embody but actually are the spirits of their ancestors. Stories about the spirits are also models for good living and help them to maintain balance in the world managing natural cycles of which they are apart.

The tribes live out the myths applying them to changing circumstances and they make no distinction between myth and life, magic and reality.
