About The Wixárika tribe
The name of the tribe originally means the “seer”!
This ancient tribe is located deep in the mountains of central Mexico...have lived here for at least 15,000 years according to carbon dating of the ashes from their sacred fireplaces and The Wixárikas are one of the ethnic groups that have managed to remain "pure" since the time of the Spanish conquest.
The isolation from mass culture and the modern consumer society has helped them to preserve the purity of their race, their customs, and festivals, their own social organization, and their characteristic and peculiar art. Their religious, political, and economic life is organized in a way that can migrate from one place to another and then return to their places of origin.
The mountains are inhabited by the mystical culture of the community; in which constantly enigmatic worlds are created whose recurring characters are moons, suns, trees, labyrinths, spirals, mountains, and cosmic oceans tirelessly are expressed in art, religion, and customs of the Wixárikas. Living in places removed from the Sierra Madre Occidental in the states of Nayarit and Jalisco they maintained to be free from external influence through the centuries
Their tradition includes 4 main deities, the trinity of Corn, Blue Deer, and Peyote, and the Eagle that have all descended from their Sun God Tao Jreeku who created all the beings on Earth with his saliva...

Wirikuta sacred desert
the Center of the Universe
For the Wixarika, every single thing in Wirikuta is sacred: every stone, plant, stream, creature, everything! Their cosmovision is marked by a healthy sense of innocence that breeds profound respect for nature.
In the beginning, the gods were guided by Tatewari, also known as Grandfather Fire, to the Mountain of El Quemado. There, riding on the horns of a blue deer named Kauyumari, the sun rose for the first time, giving birth to the world.
Wirikuta is a natural protected area, spawning over 540 square miles in the municipalities of Catorce, Charcas, and Matehuala in the northern state of San Luis Potosi. Since 1998, it is included in UNESCO’s Natural Sacred Sites network.
