The scope and length of Fikes's research, combined with the depth of his participation with four Huichol shamans, enable him to convey with empathy details of shamanic initiation, methods for diagnosis and treatment of illness, and motives for performing funeral, deer and peyote hunting, and maize-cultivating rituals.Huichol mythologyHuichol cosmologyHuichol IndiansReligionShamanismMexicoSymbolic anthropologyMexicoHuichol mythology.Huichol cosmology.Huichol IndiansReligion.ShamanismSymbolic anthropology299.7/84544299.7/84544Fikes Jay C(Jay Courtney),1951-1572310MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779705203321Unknown Huichol3847138UNINA
