This shaman of syncretic belief systems appropriated a highly unusual degree of power, both institutional and self-authorized. Although his personal life can only be factually reconstructed through subjective Spanish political lenses, it is possible to form a portrait of the man by examining the cultural spheres through which he passed, from Sub-Saharan Africa to Morocco, from Iberia to the Caribbean, from Florida to the Rio Grande Valley, and from Mexico City to his death in the Zuñi pueblos of modern New Mexico and Arizona.
