• Resumen

  • The Mazateca geography is full of places where spaces are opened for the cohabitation of ‘“enima”, different kinds of beings, specially the “chiconindú”, owners of places. The entrance to this world of reality might be unintentional and in certain cases, led by the consumption of “sito” a holy mushroom, which opens the doors to the spaces of consciousness where the mentioned beings appear. The meeting with the “chicones” is not always advantageous, it might produce serious troubles which need the participation of the “sinahé”, healers with shamanic features who can rescue the lost soul
