🇬🇧 MarÍa Sabina, The Poet Shaman

María Sabina was born on July 22, 1894 in Huautla de Jiménez, Oaxaca, Mexico. From a very young age, she showed a great interest in medicinal plants and indigenous traditions. It was in the mountains of Huautla de Jiménez where she discovered the transformative power of sacred mushrooms, used in her shamanic ceremonies.

She was a wise Mazatec woman, healer, shaman and poet, recognized worldwide for her work with the "holy children" (sacred mushrooms or psilocybins), which she used in spiritual healing rituals deeply linked to her indigenous tradition. Her legacy has been key to the recognition of indigenous ancestral knowledge and to the worldwide interest in sacred medicines.

Known worldwide for her sacred ceremonies with hallucinogenic mushrooms (even Bob Dylan, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones tried her mushrooms), she was also recognized for her talent as a poet. One of her most outstanding poems is "Cúrate, mijita", where she expresses her wisdom and connection with the divine in a poetic way.

"Mijita" is a contraction of "mi hijita", very common and used throughout Latin America, which means my little daughter. It is an affectionate way of referring to a woman, usually younger, although it is not necessary that she is one's daughter. The same applies to men, in this case it is said "Mijito", which means my little son.

Cúrate, mijita (Heal yourself, mijita)

Heal yourself, mijita, the wounds of the soul,
with the hands of time and the sacred waters,
with the words that spring from the deepest,
with the sighs and tears that drown the World.
Heal yourself, mijita, in the stillness of silence,
where peace dwells and longings are heard,
open your heart to light and love,
may the Universe bless you from its splendor.
Heal yourself, mijita, with the power of Nature,
with the embrace of the wind and its heavenly purity,
feel the earth beating beneath your feet,
and the divine energy that in your essence is undone.
Heal yourself, mijita, in the embrace of the loved one,
in the whisper of the wind in your ear expressed,
let love surround you and accompany you,
may it heal and protect you at every step of your journey.
Heal yourself, mijita, and spread your wings to the wind,
let your spirit soar in every moment,
may the shadows dissipate and the light guide you,
may you find peace and harmony along the way.

This poem by María Sabina invites us to reflect on the importance of taking care of and healing ourselves, both physically and spiritually.

Every July 22, many people in Mexico and around the world honor her life, her medicine and her connection with the divine.
