PEYOTE

According to legends, centuries ago the Huichols of the mountains did not have enough water and food, so four brave young people undertook a journey in search of supplies. A deer appeared and guided them to the Wirikuta desert, in San Luis Potosí, where peyotes bloomed in the sunlight. By bringing them to their people, the hunger and thirst that afflicted them disappeared, so peyote became the sacred plant that would alleviate their ills and give new meaning to the traditions that they continue to perpetuate to this day. A living example of this is the work of Fernando Benítez, “Embroideries Huicholes”, which is currently part of the cultural heritage of CASA PINEDA COVALIN in the city of Querétaro.
