PATH OF LIFE – Wavy lines represent the "vine of life", which the Huichol Goddess of Life gives to every soul (plant, animal, human) at birth. This vine is the soul's spiritual connection to the breath of the goddess in the ethereal realm. When people chose to follow her "path of flowers", they receive her blessings: prosperity, abundance, creativity, health, and their hearts' desires.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF COLORS:

RED – The East, fire, masculinity.

YELLOW – A special root from Wirikuta used for face paint in ceremonies.

ORANGE – "Wirikuta", the sacred land where the Huichol believe life began and also where they gather peyote.
