The Huichol world is divided into three universes: that of mythology, where the Huichol maintain that life began in the ocean; that of corn, where daily life and Huichol traditions are developed; and that which has to do with mysticism, which reveals the Huichol world and the Huichol art of their rituals that distinguish them and give them identity as a Huichol community.
