Description: "Maria Sabina: Her Life and Chants" by Álvaro Estrada is a poignant biography of the renowned Mazatec curandera (healer) and shaman, Maria Sabina, whose use of psilocybin mushrooms to facilitate spiritual healing gained worldwide attention. She is the curandera who befriended Robert Gordon Wasson, who introduced the world to the existence of hallucinogenic or "magic mushrooms" in a May 1957 Life magazine exposé. Estrada combines historical narrative with personal accounts to explore Sabina's life, her sacred rituals, and the profound impact she had on the global understanding of psychedelic substances. Through her chants and visionary experiences, Sabina opened a doorway into the spiritual traditions of the Mazatec people, making this book an important resource for those interested in indigenous healing practices, mysticism, and the cultural history of psychedelics. As new in a new DJ. Unread.
