This week we celebrate Thanksgiving in the US, which is based, like many other holidays, on a distorted story. For one, the first so-called thanksgiving meal was with the Spaniards about 50 years earlier.

They focused on practicing certain rituals known for granting supernatural powers, with the hope that this would lead them to enlightenment.
