Liquid light
Liquid Light is an important addition to the growing number of published accounts that discuss the use of ayahuasca (known by the name, Daime), and its role within Santo Daime, a fundamentally Christian though highly syncretic new religious movement founded in 1930 in the Amazonian state of Acre by an Afro-Brazilian rubber tapper known to followers as Mestre Irineu. The text is a richly descriptive account of Barnard’s own evolution as a fardado …

The Role of Anthropology in Promoting Diversity on a Public University Campus
We live in an era where xenophobia, Islamophobia, and dangerous “Othering” is gaining ground in our communities. If anthropology's purpose still is, as Ruth Benedict once said, “to make the world safe for human differences,” it is more important now than ever for colleges and universities to provide our students with the necessary tools to do so. This report documents how a new initiative is building capacity for positive interaction among all wh…
Building capacity and transforming lives
This paper tells the story of how undergraduate researchers participating in an applied and participatory anthropological research project at Utah State University have used their research experience to help make our campus a more welcoming place for all who orient around religion and spirituality differently. The campus-climate research project described herein was designed to investigate the relationship between diverse religious and spiritual …
Belief Is Not Experience
For more than a hundred years, anthropologists have recorded stories of beliefs in other-than-human sentience and consciousness, yet we have most frequently insisted on contextualizing these stories in terms of cultural, epistemological, or ontological relativism. In this paper, I ask why we have had such a hard time taking reports of unseen realms seriously and describe the transformative role of personal experience as a catalyst for change in a…
The Future of a Discipline
For more than 100 years, anthropologists have collected ethnographic research among communities who assert that the spirits, animal allies, and other entities of the unseen world are "really real," yet we have historically contextualized this information under the umbrella of cultural relativism rather than taking the veracity of these claims seriously. In the last decade, some anthropologists claim that our discipline has finally undergone an on…
Shamanism and San Pedro through Time
This paper discusses archaeological, historical, and contemporary ethnographic evidence for the use of the San Pedro cactus in northern Peru as a vehicle for traveling between worlds and for imparting the “vista” (magical sight) necessary for shamanic healers to divine the cause of their patients' ailments. Using iconographic, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic evidence for the uninterrupted use of this sacred plant as a means of access to the Div…
Anthropology, Shamanism, and Alternate Ways of Knowing–Being in the World
From over 20 years of working with shamans and their apprentices in northern Peru and the United States, this article describes my own journey from scientist and skeptic to humanist and adept. It tells of the fundamental shift in consciousness I experienced as a result of a specific instance in which the veil between the seen and unseen worlds temporarily lifted, allowing me to engage with Spirit in new ways. It presents, as a result of this shif…
Curanderas a la sombra de la Huaca de la Luna
En este trabajo se presenta información arqueológica sobre representaciones de mujeres curanderas en ceramios Moche halladas en el complejo arqueológico Huacas del Sol y de la Luna. El oficio de mujeres curanderas es un tema poco estudiado en la antropología cultural andina, y la presencia de representaciones de estas en época Moche demuestra una continuidad cultural entre el pasado prehispánico y el presente. Sugerimos que la información recopil…

The Meaning of Experience
In 1995, Professor Armin Geertz presented a paper at this Congress in which he very succinctly outlined some of the post-modern chal lenges to the study of religion which face contemporary scholars.2 In that paper, he re-emphasized his call for an ethnohermeneutic approach to the study of religion. As I understand it, this approach seeks to overcome the oppositional poles of positivist and herme neudc inquiry by locating and making explicit the p…

Discourse,daño, and healing in north coastal Peru
This paper argues that discourse is culturally recognized as powerful and dangerous, significantly informing both the illness experience known as daño (magical aggression) and its traditional cure in North-coastal Peru. Words are viewed as a type of symbolic currency which negotiate and "transact" identity in an economic, social, and psychological environment in which self-esteem is generally viewed as a scarce commodity and tied to the opinions …
