La búsqueda de los padres, la competencia mágina entre distintas fuerzas, los matrimonios sobrenaturales y los pasos al intramundo son algunos de los grandes motivos desarrollados por los narradores y cantores de los pueblos Ette, Barí, Yukpa, Wayuu, Kuna tule, Embera Katío, Embera Chamí, Wounán y Awá que conforman este tomo. Hay dos motivos comunes en estas literaturas: la tala del gran árbol, a partir de la cual la humanidad se diferencia del resto de la naturaleza, y el jugo de piñas originarias de donde surgen la vida y la inteligencia humanas. Esa es la imagen que le da título a este libro.

Stop Becoming Happy... Be Happy!

Stop Becoming Happy... Be Happy! | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

We are a culture of doers. "What can I do?" "What should I do?" And the double do... "What do I do?" We are conditioned to believe that we need to do something to be happy and really, just to be okay. We need to do something in order to get the something or someone that will make us happy. If we don't do something, it's not going to happen.

Sprouting Valley: Historical Ethnobotany of the Northern Pomo from Potter Valley, California, by James R. Welch | Society of Ethnobiology

Sprouting Valley: Historical Ethnobotany of the Northern Pomo from Potter Valley, California, by James R. Welch | Society of Ethnobiology | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

In the mid-nineteenth century the indigenous Potter Valley Pomo resided in large sedentary villages in Potter Valley, California, and travelled seasonally throughout an extensive territory in what are now Mendocino and Lake Counties. Beginning in 1890 what would become nearly a half century of ethnographic research among members of this community, homeopathic doctor and amateur anthropologist John W. Hudson witnessed the a­ftermath of their dislocation and dispersal from the valley following the arrival of non-indigenous settlers. Although never published, his field notes contained an unparalleled dataset on plant use by a single local indigenous community in California. In this richly illustrated monograph the author presents and interprets this historical ethnobotanical information in order to provide new insights into Potter Valley Pomo society and its relationship to the Northern California landscape.

How to spot a Spiritual Jerk

How to spot a Spiritual Jerk | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

I had risked everything I knew for a glimpse of the divine and every now and again I would be party to incandescently light and brilliantly radiant  encounters. Returning back to the ‘Modern word’  I get the impression (and maybe I am wrong) that the average Joe thinks ‘spiritual people’ are somehow nicer, a little closer to God and a little more balanced. This would be the wrong assumption.
