This book explains the role that peyote—a hallucinogenic cactus—plays in the religious and spiritual fulfillment of certain peoples in the United States and Mexico, and examines pressing issues concerning the regulation and conservation of peyote as well as issues of indigenous and religious rights. Why is mescaline—an internationally controlled substance derived from peyote—given exemptions for religious use by indigenous groups in Mexico, and by the pan-indigenous Native American Church in the United States and Canada? What are the intersections of peyote use, constitutional law, and religious freedom? And why are natural populations of peyote in decline—so much so that in Mexico, peyote is considered a species needing "special protection"? This fascinating book addresses these questions and many more. It also examines the delicate relationship between "the needs of the plant" as a species and "the needs of man" to consume the species for spiritual purposes. The authors of this work integrate the history of peyote regulation in the United States and the special "trust responsibility" relationship between the American Indians and the government into their broad examination of peyote, a hallucinogenic cactus containing mescaline that grows naturally in Mexico and southern Texas. The book's chapters document how when it comes to peyote, multiple stakeholders' interests are in conflict—as is often the case with issues that involve ethnic identity, religion, constitutional interpretation, and conservation. The expansion of peyote traditions also serves as a foundation for examining issues of international human rights law and protections for religious freedom within the global milieu of cultural transnationalism.

This abundantly illustrated volume is the first to explore the painted pottery of the ancient Greek, Moche, and Maya cultures side by side. Satyrs and sphinxes, violent legumes, and a dancing maize deity figure in the stories painted on the pottery produced by the ancient Greek, Moche, and Maya cultures, respectively. Picture Worlds is the first book to examine the elaborately decorated terracotta vessels of these three distinct civilizations. Although the cultures were separated by space and time, they all employed pottery as a way to tell stories, explain the world, and illustrate core myths and beliefs. Each of these painted pots is a picture world. But why did these communities reach for pottery as a primary method of visual communication? How were the vessels produced and used? In this book, experts offer introductions to the civilizations, exploring these foundational questions and examining the painted imagery. Readers will be rewarded with a better understanding of each of these ancient societies, fascinating insights into their cultural commonalities and differences, and fresh perspectives on image making and storytelling, practices that remain vibrant to this day.

Approaching sorcery as highly rational and rooted in significant social and cultural values, Sorcery in Mesoamerica examines and reconstructs the original indigenous logic behind it, analyzing manifestations from the Classic Maya to the ethnographic present. While the topic of sorcery and witchcraft in anthropology is well developed in other areas of the world, it has received little academic attention in Mexico and Central America until now. In each chapter, preeminent scholars of ritual and belief ask very different questions about what exactly sorcery is in Mesoamerica. Contributors consider linguistic and visual aspects of sorcery and witchcraft, such as the terminology in Aztec semantics and dictionaries of the Kaqchiquel and K’iche’ Maya. Others explore the practice of sorcery and witchcraft, including the incorporation by indigenous sorcerers in the Mexican highlands of European perspectives and practices into their belief system. Contributors also examine specific deities, entities, and phenomena, such as the pantheistic Nahua spirit entities called forth to assist healers and rain makers, the categorization of Classic Maya Wahy (“co-essence”) beings, the cult of the Aztec goddess Cihuacoatl, and the recurring relationship between female genitalia and the magical conjuring of a centipede throughout Mesoamerica. Placing the Mesoamerican people in a human context—as engaged in a rational and logical system of behavior—Sorcery inMesoamerica is the first comprehensive study of the subject and an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Mesoamerican culture and religion.

A richly illustrated account of the art and religion of the Mayas, through detailed and complete interpretations of the Maya mythology and how it inspired its artistic creations. Michael D. Coe, emeritus professor of the Yale University comments that the book is "Rich in detail and hypothesis ... a "tour-de-force" in a well-founded and updated research and a testimony of the importance of the Museum Popol Vuh". The collection of Pre-Columbian pieces from the holdings of the museum is the staring point of the research that analyses the Maya myths on the origins of corn, the sun, the moon, the stars, war and their artistic manifestations. More than 30 years ago the pioneering research done by Michael Coe found suggesting parallels between the religious and mythological narrative of the Popol Vuh and the complex pictorial scenes in classic Maya art. Chinchilla's interpretations reinforces this conception through an updated comparative analysis between diverse narrations contained in the ancient book and some mural paintings, ceramic objects and other painted pieces

Desde la perspectiva del autor, entre los zapotecos sureños el Rayo es una entidad múltiple, polisémica; regente de la lluvia y encargada de fecundar la tierra; dueña del monte, de los animales y de las plantas. El Rayo o Cocijo, como se le ha registrado desde principios del periodo novohispano, al igual que otras deidades de la lluvia mesoamericanas, es a la vez benevolente y colérico, hídrico y telúrico, tempestivo e intempestivo, acuático e ígneo. Siendo la región zapoteca del sur una de las menos conocidas dentro del ámbito de los estudios antropológicos de Oaxaca y de México, este libro documenta la cosmovisión de los habitantes de esas comunidades en torno al Rayo.

Enrique Florescano narra la formación de los dioses en Mesoamérica, desde las cosmogonías más antiguas hasta los relatos, ritos y cantos de los pueblos indígenas de la actualidad. Cómo se hace un dios es una búsqueda por comprender cómo fueron creados los dioses y cómo, a pesar de sus transformaciones constantes, lasdeidades principales conservaron sus identidades y funciones originales, así como sus cultos y ritos a través de los siglos. Tras la creación del cosmos surgen dioses más cercanos a los seres humanos, como el dios del maíz y el del viento. Este libro sigue las transformaciones de ambos, quienes se asemejan a los seres humanos en sus representaciones y llevan una vida cercana a la de ellos: nacen, se desarrollan,realizan hazañas memorables y a veces mueren. Sólo el dios del maíz resucita en cada cosecha y se vuelve inmortal. Al morir, se transforma en semilla que viaja al inframundo, donde es sembrada y luego renace como planta portentosa que derrama los granos que alegran la vida de los seres humanos. El relato de los dioses del maíz y del viento es una página indeleble en la historia de Mesoamérica. Los dioses cambian, se multiplican, los antiguos cultos se conjugan con los nuevos y adquieren formas distintas en cada región. Sin embargo, las historias más antiguas y los relatos de los sobrevivientes actuales de Mesoamérica tienen como actor principal a la planta del maíz transformada en dios, la planta que significa la recreación imperecedera de la vida.
