Peyote fans pictures - Fans

This fan would be use mostly by ladies.

American Museum of Natural History, New York.

This fan is made with 11 tail feathers from multiple blue-and-gold macaws and scarlet macaws.

The Immature Golden Eagle, the black part of the feathers represent the darkness.

Some women under the effect of peyote break into spontaneous song and are highly esteemed; it is well understood that peyote has facilitated the creative link for them to receive these songs from the gods and share them with their families and temple members.

I will emphasize Wixárika peyote traditions because of my extensive fieldwork among women in that culture.
