	History Of Salvia (part 1)
		It is known to the Mazatecs as ska Maria Pastora, the leaf or herb of Mary, the Shepherdess.
		The Mazatecs believe this Salvia to be an incarnation of the Virgin Mary, and care is taken to avoid trampling on or damaging it when picking the leaves, which are used both for curing and in divination.
		The Mazatecs (the name, taken from the city of Mazatlan, was actually imposed on the natives by the Spanish) are nominally Catholic Christians, but they have incorporated many features of their traditional beliefs into their conceptions of God and the Saints, whom they consider to have been the first healers.

		It becomes obvious after reading translated transcripts of Mazatec ceremonial mushroom chants where an invocation to the forces of the wind and rain is just as easily replaced in the next line with the name of jesus or some other catholic saint, that the symbolism employed must be the result of centuries of syncretization.
		The Mazatec healers prefer fresh mushrooms for healing and divination and are known to use Salvia D. during the dry season when psilocybin mushrooms are unavailable.Ololiuqui (a preparation of hallucinogenic morning glory seeds containing lysergic acid amides) is also employed for this purpose.
		The Mazatecs believe the vibration of the voice, by either chanting, singing, praying or talking is important not only for stabilization and focus of the seers being under the influence of Salvia D, but also to report the activity to whoever may be listening.

		The occupations of the Mazatec are farming and the simple trades.

		The Mazatec shamans eat the mushrooms that liberate the fountains of language to be able to speak beautifully and with eloquence so that their words, spoken for the sick one and those present, will arrive and be heard in the spirit world from which comes benediction or grief.
		For the Mazatecs, the mountains are where the powers are, their summits, their ranges, radiating with electricity in the night, their peaks and their edges oscillating on the horizons of lightning.
		The Mazatec medicine men are therefore shamans in every sense of the word: their means of inspiration, of opening the circuits of communication between themselves, others, the world, and the spirits, are the mushrooms that disclose, by their psychoactive power, another modality of conscious activity than the ordinary one.

	Ott on Salvianorin-a
		In seeming refutation of the Mazatec belief that the dried leaves are inactive, both the Ortega and Valdés groups isolated salvinorin A from dried leaves, and the latter group reported a yield of 0.18 % salvinorin A in dried leaves; corresponding to 0.022 % on a fresh weight basis.
		It is suspicious that the Mazatecs associate the plant with the Biblical Mary, and with sheep, both post-Conquest introductions to the Sierra Mazateca, and Valdés documented remedial use of infusions of 4-5 pairs of Salvia divinorum leaves to treat a disease called panzón de barrego (sic), ‘big lamb’s belly’ (Valdés et al.

		The Mazatecs that I met along the trail were all curious about me and asked what I was up to.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Feinberg, The Devil's Book of Culture
		Mazatecs and outsiders may debate the meaning of mushroom practice, but few would deny that the discourse about mushrooms dominates cultural representation in the Sierra; the fungus is the engine of the Mazatec mimetic machinery that spins out different models of identity.
		Mazatec talk and action about culture and identity produce, in each of three spaces--history, mushrooms, and caves--a tension between a view of culture as bounded and objectified and another view that locates culture precisely at moments of mediation and exchange.
		While one view positions history, mushrooms, and caves as essential attributes of a Mazatec identity, the other sees each area as a discursive space in which culture is continuously being generated and mediated in ways that may be dangerous or lucrative to the individual actor.

		It is as if an authority said to you, "This prisoner will be set free for a fine of one hundred pesos and if it isn't paid, he won't go free."
