Review title: Primarily an art exhibition
Product review: I bought this book hoping it would be a good reference for a report I am writing about the Huichols, for my cultural anthropology class. The book turns out to be essentially a showcase for the yarn art of Mariano Valdez, the husband of the author. While the art is colorful and interesting, the book did not serve my purpose of gathering detailed descriptive information on their sacred rituals, as the title suggests. The text basically describes, in short paragraphs, what each piece of art represents. It gaves some basic insight into Huichol deities and animal allies, but only in small snippets, so it is hard to put all of these puzzle pieces together to form a cohesive overall picture or understanding of their religious practices. A nice book of art, but not much else. It is also a fairly thin book -- not worth the price, in my opinion, unless you feel that the high-quality images of Valdez's artwork are worth it.
