Dimicia and Sinchi

Sinchi (age 14 mos.) is Dimicia’s (age 68) great-granddaughter. In a few days Sinchi and her parents will leave on a 75-mile pilgrimage to a sacred location in the rugged Sierra Madre mountains to hunt for hikuri, the small peyote cactus. Although Dimicia will stay at home while Sinchi’s parents search for hikuri, all three will take peyote and -- using a type of intuitive telepathy -- share in the pilgrimage and ceremonies. Huichol. Santa Teresa, Mexico.
