	E T H N O P O E T I C S :: Heriberto Yépez on Maria Sabina
		The substituted figure, behind whom María Sabina could be said to be hidden, is male, and by discussing her or the phenomena related to her indirectly, by way of a male proxy, Paz and Monsiváis relegate her feminine powers of revelation to the role of token in the exchanges of an intellectual brotherhood.
		Sabina suffered the stigma of being involved in sell-out-tourism, becoming in the popular mind one of those persona of popular culture that, thanks to their friendship with the dollar, are almost non-Mexican: border prostitutes; jumping frijoles ; Tijuana; and María Sabina, an Indian healer turned chic guide for crazy gabachos, a betrayer of the nation.
		Malinche and Sabina are seen as the promiscuous mothers of evil hybrids, of a strain of interracial and impure children, progenetrixes of a new and terrible mutation of the Mexican race, which helps account for the ambivalence which Sabina has evoked.

	E T H N O P O E T I C S :: Heriberto Yépez RE-READING MARÍA SABINA
		I think Paz was denying Sabina’s poetic stature, because he saw her as a sorcerer (in an essay on Breton he describes her as an "hechicera") and just a traditional healer, and not as a verbal artist as well.
		If he saw Sabina as simply a traditional healer, his ideas on her personality were certainly wrong, so his suggestions could be erasing key notions and simplifying them in both the Spanish translation and, subsequently, in the English version.
		Sabina is not a poet of the unconscious but of self-consciousness itself, a poet of cultural rereading and rewriting.

		María Sabina told the bishop that her talents could not be taught to others but could only be achieved by those whose wisdom had been already naturally attained.
		María Sabina was many things: an earth woman, a mother, a sabia, a poet, a healer, a curer, a believer, an achiever, and a curandera who stood at the very edge of her universe and glimpsed the secrets and meaning of life.

	MARIA SABINA: Curandera, Shaman
		Maria Sabina had visions on the "little saints" that someone (Wasson) was coming and would take the tradition to the world after 500 years of secrecy under Spanish rule.

		Maria was a unique example of a person in modern times, not overly influenced by modern technological culture, who still practiced the archaic customs of her people.
		Hofmann explained to Maria that he had come with "the spirit of the mushrooms in the form of pills." Maria later concluded that there was no difference between the mushrooms and the pills, validating Hofmann's work.

		In her time (she was born in 1896) Maria Sabina (of Huautla de Jimenez) was known for her shamanic powers, her use of the teo-nanacatl, meaning “flesh of the gods,” (the magic mushroom), and her success healing the rich and powerful.
		As a result of giving the secrets of the teo-nanacatl to outsiders, Maria Sabina's son was murdered and her house burned to the ground.
		By the time she died, Maria Sabina had made it on to counterculture T-shirts sold in Berkeley, San Francisco, and all over the world (usually smoking a joint), and had become Mexico's most celebrated daughter.

		The language has been spoiled and it is indecipherable for us." According to Sabina, before the coming of Wasson, "nobody took the mushrooms only to find God." She tells the consequences of cultural "contamination" very directly: "from the moment the foreigners arrived to search for God, the saint children lost their purity.
		We may feel comfortable--or at least on somewhat familiar ground--when Sabina says that "my only force is my Language"; perhaps even when she adds, "And all my Language is in the Book that was given to me. I am she who reads, the interpreter.
