BENZI, Marino. Les Derniers Adorateurs du Peyotl: Croyances, coutumes et mythes des Indiens Huichol.

(Paris): Gallimard, 1972. First edition. Softcover. 22cm by 15cm. 446 pages. Early ethnographic study of Huichol religious life and peyote ritual. The volume documents the ceremonial practices, mythology, cosmology, and sacred traditions of the Huichol people of western Mexico, with particular emphasis on the ritual use of peyote and its central role within pilgrimage, healing, and visionary experience. Combining anthropological observation, travel narrative, and documentary photography, Benzi records ceremonies, symbolic objects, oral traditions, and communal rites at a moment of increasing outside interest in Indigenous spirituality and sacred plant culture. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. A very good copy in wrappers with integral flaps.
