Huichol mythology

Huichol mythology is a rich spiritual tradition that explains the universe's origins and their relationship with nature. Central to their beliefs is the story of the Peyote plant, which symbolizes divine communication, and the journey of their ancestors who traveled to sacred mountains like Wirikuta to harvest it. They believe in a layered cosmos with the sky, earth, and underworld, inhabited by deities and spirits that influence daily life. Rituals, art, and symbols serve to maintain harmony between humans, nature, and spiritual forces, reflecting their deep respect for the natural world and their ancestors' sacred stories.
