Far from studying the underworld as a static, predefined conception of Huichol worldview, this book explores the "darker dimension of existence" as a conceptual device that focuses on both origins and future. The author studies representations of the wixaritari starting from kieri, an entity that is both an enigmatic notion and a protean deity. In Spanish.
