BONFIGLIOLI, Cario  and  GUTIERREZ DEL ANGEL, Arturo. Peyote, enfermedad y regeneración de la vida entre huicholes y tarahumaras. Cuicuilco [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.53, pp.195-227. ISSN 0185-1659.

Ritual use of peyote among Huichols and Tarahumara peoples has been documented from the late XXI Century onwards. However, the resulting image of these ethnographies seem to lead to irreducible differences. In this article we analyse in a comparative form the relationship between this entheogen, the above mentioned peoples' worldview, and specifically with the concept of "regeneration of life". It is upon the later that the system of transformations we are presenting in this text roots and articulates itself.

Keywords : entheogens; healing-illness; rituals; huicholes; tarahumaras.
