Session 4: War God
Graham Hancock writes fiction as well as non-fiction and in Session 4 of his “Magical Mystery Tour” Events+ at Gaiasphere, he introduces the fascinating research that led him to War God, his series of epic adventure novels about the Spanish Conquest of Mexico. Against a backdrop of witchcraft and sorcery, deities and demons, War God, follows a diverse cast of characters through one of history’s bloodiest chapters. War God explores several of the lingering mysteries surrounding the pre-colonial cultures of Central America, such as the prophesied return of banished peace god Quetzalcoatl, the horrific institution of ritual human sacrifice, and the visions of the saints that apparently drove the Christians to genocide. It is an epic adventure with a true story at its root; a tale of how the human capacity for love can survive, even in the worst possible circumstances and the darkest of times.
