Nahua reconstructionists

I love the internet, and the way it offers up all kinds of glimpses into human creativity and bricolage. Until about ten minutes ago, I had no idea that there were Nahua reconstructionists wandering about out there, but it seems that there are:

How wondrous, that such beings exist! Must read and explore this man's (woman's?) mind...

And if this is too weird for you, here's a calmer link to some beautiful Nahuatl poetry:

Fascinating. Makes me wonder what Nahua-descended people who follow Pre-Columbian/Christian/Shamanist syncretic practices would think of it...

There's a lot I like about Nahua poetry... the parallelism and repetition can be very powerful, and the imagery is often just lovely.
