The journey of creating the Amulet of the Earth began with my first cross-stitch project, featuring the symbol of the Peyote a sacred plant used in ceremony.
After months of dedication, on the night I completed it, I dreamt of the Blue Deer, who spoke to me and said:
"Take a petal of this peyote flower as a reminder of my heart, to guide you towards the path of a good living."
The blue deer or Tamatsi Kauyumari, is the central figure in the spiritual traditions of the Wixarika comunity, it is considered a guide, a messenger of the gods, and the first Mara'akame or healer.
The Blue Deer is believed to have led the ancestors of the Wixárika to the sacred land of Wirikuta, where they discovered the peyote or hikuri, the sacred cactus that connects them to the divine.
The blue deeri is then associated with wisdom, spiritual enlightenment, and transformation.
