Oxygen isotopes, sometimes combined with carbon, nitrogen, strontium, and lead isotopic measurements, have been used to study the mobility of diverse human groups such as in Teotihuacan and Oaxaca, Mexico, dating from about 300 bc to ad 750 (Stuart-Williams et al. 1996), the Kellis 2 cemetery (c. ad 250) in the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt (Dupras and Schwarcz 2001), and in Britain (Budd et al. 2003). [Pg.191]

Salvia divinorum is used by the Mazatec Indians of northeastern Oaxaca, Mexico primarily for its psychoactive effects which aid in ritual divination (Wasson, 1962, 1963). It is also employed remedially to treat various health conditions (Valdes et al., 1983). [Pg.247]

We now identify a species of Salvia new to botanists,. S, divinorum Epling Jativa, as a psychotropic drug used traditionally by the Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico, in their divination rites. To the ever growing family of Mexican phantastica a new member is thus added, and for the first time a species of the Labiatae joins this interesting group. [Pg.278]

Salvia divinorum is a perennial labiate used for curing and divination by the Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico. The psychotropic effects the plant produces are compared to those of the other hallucinogens employed by the Mazatecs, the morning glory, Rivea corymbosa L., Hallier F. and the psilocybin-containing mushrooms. A discussion of the role of ska Marla Pastora in the "native pharmacopoeia" is based on previous reports and fieldwork by the authors with a Mazatec shaman. [Pg.326]

HENRY MUNN has investigated the use of hallucinogenic plants among the Conibo Indians of eastern Pern and the Mazatec Indians of the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. Although not a professional anthropologist, he has resided for extended periods of time among the Mazatecs and is married to the niece of the shaman and shamaness referred to in this essay. [Pg.434]

Little is known about Salvia s traditional use as an entheogen. It has been suggested as the most likely candidate for pipiltzintzintli, an ancient Aztec shamanic preparation. Some researchers dispute this claim, believing that pipiltzintzintli is in fact Cannabis sativa. At any rate, the Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico, are the only people known to use Salvia in curing rituals at the present time (with the exception of recent experimentation by Western enthusiasts). [Pg.472]

Jativa-M, the enigmatic species ceremoniously employed by the Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico. The western world first learned of this salvia, or sage, in 1962, when Epling and J tiva-M described the entity from specimens given to them by Albert Hofmann and Gordon Wasson (Wasson 1962 Hofmann 1980), naming it 5. divinorum... [Pg.520]

There are no recognized therapeutic uses of Salvia divinorum. However, tribal shamans in Oaxaca, Mexico have used the plant to restore regularity of elimination, relieve headache, and function as a tonic for generalized weakness, aches, and pains. [Pg.445]

The Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico have used hallucinogenic plants for hundreds of years. Peyote (peyotl), psilocybin mushrooms (teonanactl), morning glory seeds (ololiuqui), and Salvia divinorum (hierba Maria, ska Maria Pastora) have been used in religious ceremonies of divination and healing. [Pg.449]

As I continue through the beds, pulling weeds, I recall a trip I took with a friend to Oaxaca, Mexico. We traveled through rainforests rich with diversity of tree ferns, cycads, pipers, aroids, bromeliads, and orchids. We also traveled through small villages where farmers practiced subsistence agriculture. They cultivated a diversity of modern corn varieties, as well as traditional landraces—crops selected for their adaptations to specific locations and their culinary characteristics. Often landraces... [Pg.119]

Aionso-Vante, Nicolas was bom in Oaxaca, Mexico and educated in Mexico-city. He received his Dr. Xs Sc. (1984) from the Louis Pasteur University of Strasbourg, France. He then joined the research group of Prof. H. Tributsch at the Hahn-Meitner-Institut in Berlin, Germany, as an Alexander von Humboldt fellow. Thereafter, he continued as a senior scientist. He is presently Professor of Chemistry at the Chemistry faculty of the University of Poitiers, France. His research interest has concentrated, these late years, on material science research for (photo)electrocata-lysis, and the in situ investigation of interfacial processes combining spectroscopy with electrochemical techniques. [Pg.267]
