    The book near as I recall is The Popol Vuh though occasionally called the Mayan Book of the Dead. It serves as both a creation story but also touches upon the afterlife and similar concepts. There is another book called Mayan Book of the Dead Ceramic Codex that holds some similar information but is more of a academic study of the various codex stories contained in the pictographic carvings or codex's.
    Of course! The Popol Vuh! Yeah, you might wanna look into that one as well, GardenofShadows.

It teaches that the living must, first and foremost, understand the process that the soul goes through before they can help the spirit in its transition.

Fortune shows how traditional customs connected with the passing of a soul have their roots in psychic fact. For example, we place candles

        Heh, I was going to suggest Konstantinos.
        Nocturnal Witchcraft, Nocturnicon, Summoning Spirits and the Gothic Grimoire are what I have read from him. Check him out if you are interested. I did find him a tad bit fluffy though, but not horribly fluffed.
