Death Is Not The End come with a much needed reissue of Mushroom Ceremony of the Mazatec Indians of Mexico. LP edition limited to 300 copies only. Recorded on the night of July 21/22, 1956 by V.P. & R. Gordon Wasson, these are rough and ready field recordings featuring the voice of Maria Sabina (1894-1985) a Mexican curandera who would perform healing vigils known as veladas in Huautla de Jimenez, Oaxaca where all participants would ingest psilocybin mushrooms (Maria's ''holy children''), as a sacrament to open the gates of the mind and communicate with the sacred.
