Their use of color is breathtaking. Fun fact I'm in Mexico City for the first time! Hopefully I can see some Huichol Art in person.

[@EyeoftheSerpent]

You have to see the Museo de Arte Popular, then!

Wonderful! How far south was peyote used in ceremony pre-conquest?

[@EyeoftheSerpent]

The farthest south I have found from the historical texts is Ruiz de Alarcon's 1629 Treatise, which described Nahua uses of peyote in Guerrero.

Recently on Joe Rogan quetzalcoatl was mentioned being a light skinned god. There was a debate on Joe Rogans podcast and that was mentioned. What is the origin of that concept of quetzalcoatl being a light skinned? Was this a traditional belief of the natives or was this something made up during colonial times? Also do you have a video on this subject regarding quetzalcoatl being light skinned?

[@EyeoftheSerpent]

I have not yet made any videos on Quetzalcoatl, but those I do will be first about how I work with his principles in my practice. The problem with many of the historical accounts about Topiltzin Ce Acatl Quetzalcoatl is that they were by definition written in the Colonial period, after the reality of the Conquest, so they are trying to make sense how the Conquest could have happened to them. (Also, I avoid Joe Rogan because I have heard that his archaeology interviews tend to be sensationalist and flawed. The fact that his video on Olmec "research" came from interviewing Graham Hancock instead of Ann Cyphers says much about his style. ...)

@@EyeoftheSerpent thank you for your insight. I totally agree, lately I’ve been avoiding certain episodes of JRE podcast. I REALLY dislike that he constantly speaks on the native people without having native experts on his podcast or at least someone who’s non native but an expert.
