Book Description
A book about the author's time among the Huichol people, considered the most authentically "traditional" of all Mexican Indians, in west Mexico's Sierra Madre Occidental. It includes transcriptions of myths that function as charters for "being Huichols," descriptions of deities, rituals, beliefs, as well as discussion of the place of hallucinogens in Huichol culture.
