Variopinto de la Chacruna
In the upper part of the painting is the crucible of alchemical transformation representing the genesis of the ayahuasca vision. Each side are magnificent sylphs, the guardians of the two plants – chacruna and ayahuasca that combine to form the mystic brew – ayahuasca. The chacruna induces colourful visions, while the ayahuasca liana promotes insight. If you drink pure ayahuasca, that is the liana without chacruna, perhaps some mapacho tobacco, your visions are only in black and white
