BK: Peyote Hunt: Sacred Journey of the Huichol Indians by Barbara G. Myerhoff

Cond: G

The Huichol refer to themselves as "Wixáritari", which is translated into "the people". Theirs was a vividly rich culture that relied heavily on shamanic tradition to guide them and to keep them in harmony with the land.

Notes: "This document explores the cultural significance of Huichol myths, rituals, and symbols—particularly those pertaining to the sacred unity of deer, maize, and peyote—based on interviews with a Huichol shaman and the author’s own participation in a peyote pilgrimage to the original homeland of Huichol deities and founding ancestors. Pilgrims mystically join the ancient world, a place where divisions dissolve between sexes, ages, leaders and led, men and animals, plants and animals, and men and demigods. This ritual complex is credited with maintaining Huichol natural and cultural orders."
