Role of Fire in Huichol Healing
In the Wirárika tradition, Fire is seen as the First Shaman and as heart, as the One who connects us to the world.
With the help of Fire, the mara’akame can connect more deeply with clients and determine what they need. Fire also helps the mara’akame to connect to the wisdom of the tradition and the sacred sites who offer their particular gifts of healing.

Throughout history, people have gathered to hear His knowledge and ask Him questions about how to deal with their problems and live a good life.
Through a Mara’akame or Wixárika healer, Fire supports our healing process.
