Coven - Season 2, Episode 5: María Sabina - Coven

What this episode covers

In this week’s episode, we welcome the powerful, mystical, and resilient healer + Mazatec sabia (wise woman), María Sabina into our Coven. While widely known as the “mushroom priestess” or the “mother of magic mushrooms,” her story is one of profound and often overlooked tragedy. We discuss her tumultuous journey to embody her calling as a healer, her relationship to and work with the “little saint” mushrooms, and the ways in which her story reflects the shadows of American culture and colonialism.
