A Vital Matters Perspective: Where the Sacred Dwells: In the Land
Where the Sacred Dwells: In the Land
Mario Muñoz Cayetano shares the spiritual and cultural importance of Wirikuta, one of the most sacred sites for the Wixárika (Huichol) people. Through reflections on ritual, pilgrimage, and place, it reveals how offerings, prayers, and traditional knowledge connect the community to their ancestors, to sacred plants like corn and hikuri (peyote), and to the land itself. With deep respect for sites like Cerro Quemado and the xiriki temples, the narration underscores how language, ceremony, and sacred geography are preserved through ongoing devotion—because for the Wixárika, culture is not just tradition, it is life.
