Huichol Art
Diversos artesanos huicholes que gustan de conservar y recrear los símbolos de los la historia huichol; la cosmovisión de un pueblo, por lo que continúan siendo un regalo que nos dan los adivinos marakames huicholes para que recordemos nuestro origen olvidado.
The Huichol People of central Mexico still follow the age-old shamanic ways of their ancestors, an unbroken wisdom-bridge stretching back into the Paleolithic. The "mara'akame", the shaman, still leads pilgrims on a yearly journey retracing the path of the Gods and Goddesses when they first appeared in this middle world and traveled on sacred pilgrimage to find its center.

Culture Huichol The Pilgrimage culminates in a night-long ceremony around "Tatewari", Grandfather Fire, a meditative retreat during which shamanic ceremony induces a visionary state by which the Huichol People find their lives and the power, the "kupuri", to follow their heart path to completion. Their distinctive visionary art, in the form of yarn paintings, embroided clothing, bags, beaded gourds, masks, jewelry, and sculpture, all derives from their shamanic visions whose symbols form the basis of their work and their lives. The work is all hand-made by individual artists who are taught by their elders, and who then pass on the artistic techniques to their children. And so it goes, from generation to generation. Originally all the art work was made as "offrendas", prayer offerings to the Spirits left at places of power along the Pilgrimage route. This practice is still continued, but now some of the art is made to sell to interested parties who value the Huichol Path. The Huichols are struggling to maintain their ancestral ways and they are under tremendous pressures of acculturation. Their knowledge of the transpersonal realm and of how to live in harmony with the forces of nature are treasures that we can not afford to lose. You can help the Huichol People stay connected with their shamanic roots by purchasing productions of their art.
