Aurelda: Echoes of the Ceiba is a Mayan mythology-inspired gay fantasy adventure—a story of love, loss, and spiritual growth that blends epic adventure with the mysteries of ancient mythology.

In a world where sacred Ceiba trees guard the flow of the Lumina, a life force connecting all living things, young apprentice Mo’an embarks on a quest to restore balance.

Guided by prophecy and his bond with the enigmatic warrior Itzam’Yeh, Mo’an must confront the ambitions of kings and the lure of power to protect the very heart of his world.

In the mystical realm of Aurelda, a world deeply rooted in Mayan mythology, embark on a gay fantasy adventure set amidst lush landscapes reminiscent of the Yucatán Peninsula. The sacred Ceiba trees stand as ancient guardians, pulsing with Lumina—a potent energy that connects the heavens, earth, and underworld. This Lumina embodies radiant light and timeless wisdom, serving as the lifeblood of Aurelda and fostering harmony among its people.

But as Aurelda’s golden age fades, peace between the city-states of Solara, Valoria, and Elaron begins to fracture. Greedy rulers vie for control of the Lumina, disrupting its sacred flow and threatening to plunge the world into chaos. Mo’an, a gifted healer guided by ancestral wisdom, is drawn into this rising conflict, forced to confront his destiny as Aurelda’s harmony teeters on the brink.

When a devastating attack claims the life of Itzam’Yeh—a courageous warrior and Mo’an’s closest companion—their deep bond becomes the catalyst for Mo’an’s profound spiritual awakening. Guided by the wise elder Ahau’Tun and the enigmatic owl spirit Chimalmat, he delves deep into the ancient practices of his people. Uncovering the Lumina’s secrets, Mo’an discovers the strength within himself.

As tensions escalate and a prophecy warns of destruction, Mo’an learns that true power lies not in control but in healing—not only others but also himself.

Hi, I’m Jason Samadhi, the heart-centered creator and visionary guardian of Aurelda: Echoes of the Ceiba. I created this Mayan mythology-inspired gay fantasy adventure as a reflection of my journey toward love, wholeness, and self-acceptance.

After feeling disconnected from the traditional spiritual community—with its often heteronormative lens—and the mainstream gay community, I sought to blend these worlds in a way that felt authentic to me. Through this gay fantasy adventure rooted in Mayan mythology, I aimed to create a story that bridges spirituality and meaningful queer representation.

Rooted in my experiences living in the Riviera Maya, Aurelda is a deeply personal exploration of love, identity, and spiritual transformation. Drawing inspiration from Mayan myths and the lush landscapes of the Yucatán Peninsula, the story delves into themes of self-discovery, balance, and the quest for harmony.

Through these stories, I hope to inspire gay men and anyone seeking self-discovery to embrace their path and find beauty in their unique journey.

I wrote Aurelda as a Mayan mythology-inspired gay fantasy adventure to honor the rich local culture I live in and to reflect my own journey as a queer spiritual seeker.

For years, I struggled to find a community that embraced both queerness and spirituality. These books were born from my desire to create a space that didn’t exist—a world where stories of love, inclusion, and personal transformation are central.

Through Mo’an’s journey in this gay fantasy adventure rooted in Mayan mythology, I hope to offer a narrative that resonates with those who feel unseen or disconnected. My aim is to inspire anyone on a spiritual path to embrace their journey of self-discovery and belonging.
