This episode uncovers the
exhaustive historical pattern of the exploitation of age old traditions,
teachings and customs by people who have little regard for the ever lasting
repercussions. Here lies the story of arguably the most famous Mexican Healer
to have ever lived, María Sabina Magdalena García, a Shaman and poet. Born on
the 22nd of July 1894, and died at 91 years young, on the 22nd,
November 1985, she is renowned for sacred healing ceremonies, called veladas,
based on the use of psilocybin mushrooms which she referred to as ‘Saint
Children’. Known also for her poetry- which she also attributed to the Saint
Children, Maria Sabina is also considered one of Mexico's greatest poets. Maria
Sabina’s name, and location of her small town were made public, years of
sacred, divine tradition was reduced to ignorant, entitled touristic experience
seekers, and even outlawed. This episode honours her life, and her legacy, for
which we are yet to fully realise.
