Title:-

A story about the Shamans .......when they make offerings, so that their sons may know the sacred peyote. Here we see the eclipse, and the sun which is about to be obscured because there are two healers who have sin in their souls and for this reason the "peyotes" cannot see them and this is why a shaman cleanses them to burn up the sin, and once they have been cleansed the shaman tells them to sow corn so that they may perform a ceremony and offer corn to the gods, and afterwards have a big celebration, but before the ceremony they must give offerings and when the celebration begins, the arrows that are called "uruk" must be buried so that the shamanes begin to chant. a deer is sacrificed so that the red blood may be offerred to the gods and smeered on the stones , the corn and the candles, and also on the sick so that they may heal, and when they are healed everyone makes offeriings at a sacred place which is called "Real de Catorce", (or wirikuta) a place where the sacred saints, the offerings and the believers congregate, and after the shamanes make their healing, the sun and the moon return to their positions so that they may keep emitting the light that the gods gave them and that the shamans may perform their rituals, and this is why, when the sun disappears, the clouds begin to darken the sky and the rain falls so that the peyotes may appear, and so the shamanes begin to take the peyotes and grind them to offer to the believers who have entered the sacred place where an eagle may be found on the stone which moves when anyone steals the peyote and also transforms into a flower which is called "kieri flor mulo" or flower of the wind and which must not be touched because it presents evil. The shamanes fear this flower because it may transform into anything ..........................This is the huichol tradition.
