Mictlantecuhtli, Mexica lord of the underworld.
Souls of those who died in ways that did not call them to paradise went to Mictlan. They traveled through nine hells for four years, facing dangerous challenges at each stage. Once they reached Mictlantecuhtli, they disappeared forever.

With everything going on, Mexico’s dispute with the US regarding GM corn and glyphosate is hardly a blip on anyone’s radar, and information is hard to come by. This piece from the IATP is a fair assessment of the controversy

Peyote (Lophophora williamsii) is a small thornless cactus that grows in Northern Mexico and the Southwestern US. It is sacred to the Wixāritari peoples of Northern Mexico and the US. Please avoid drug tourism, and leave any specimens you find in place.

“In life we learn
We grow
We discover
We write
We erase
And write again
We weave
We unravel
And we weave again
The day I learnt that the only thing I take with me is what I live, then I began to live that which I wish to take”

Purépecha traditional poem, MEXICA TEAHUI
