Several of the Nahua of the Sierra de Texcocos concepts, especially those of 'person', 'hail', and 'illness', are re-examined by analyzing the relationship between the graniceros (shamanic practitioners) and the ahuaques (divine 'owners' of water who cause hail, rain, and illnesses) that may lead to the liberation of spirits which have been removed from living humans and trapped in water. The aim of this article is to develop an interpretive scheme which might be applied to the cosmological systems of Nahua-speaking peoples in other areas of Mexico.Downloads
