Huichol mythology
Huichol mythology is the traditional belief system of the Huichol people, an indigenous group from western Mexico. Their mythology is rich with stories about gods, nature, and the creation of the world. Central to their beliefs are deities like Tatewari, the fire god, and Kauyumari, the deer god, who play significant roles in their rituals and ceremonies.
The Huichol view the world as interconnected, where every element of nature has a spirit. They believe in the importance of maintaining harmony with these spirits through offerings and rituals, often involving peyote, a sacred cactus used in their spiritual practices. This connection to nature and the divine shapes their cultural identity and daily life.
