The Tree of the Wind 120 X 70 cm. Refugio Pérez González
The tree of the wind is a plant that can be found high in the mountains, where some pilgrims go to give thanks for the support that they have received about knowledge.
The tree of the wind is for us indigenous people like a teacher, giving us wisdom and protecting us on our way through the years while we are visiting it. It is in this way that we Huichol go to him, to know something of his knowledge and wisdom in order to become shamans or healers after his visit and the delivery of sacred offerings in the sacred place, in this case ”Los Picachos”. On their return they make a ceremony of gratitude.
