María Sabina Drawing

María Sabina (1894 – 1985) was a Mazatec wise woman, shaman and poet who lived in Huautla de Jiménez, a town in the Sierra Mazateca area of the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Her healing sacred mushroom ceremonies, called veladas, were based on the use of psilocybin mushrooms. María Sabina's veladas contributed to the popularization of indigenous Mexican ritual use of entheogenic mushrooms among westerners, though this was not her intent. It is sung in a shamanic trance in which, as she recounted, the "saint children" speak through her: Because I can swim in the immense Because I can swim in all forms Because I am the launch woman Because I am the sacred opossum Because I am the Lord opossum I am the woman Book that is beneath the water, says I am the woman of the populous town, says I am the shepherdess who is beneath the water, says I am the woman who shepherds the immense, says I am a shepherdess and I come with my shepherd, says Because everything has its origin And I come going from place to place from the origin...
