5.0 out of 5 stars a beautiful belief system, April 15, 1999

By A Customer

This is the greatest ethnography i have ever read... While that's not saying an enormous amount, it is also one of the most fascinating and worthwhile books of non-fiction i've read, and that is saying a lot. Cohesive, illuminating, not too long, focussing on a culture which is very simple except for its complex religion, which, as with many native peoples, is really its entire life. Not being long, it reads like an essay with this as its thesis. A must for anyone interested in the cultural ecology of religion, or in native American peoples; the Huichol are one of the most interesting.
