Abstract

Abstract: This work is a fragment of a book in preparation: Eisejuaz,chamán. Gérmenes y materiales. It addresses the novel Eisejuaz, by Sara Gallardo, few knowed until a few years ago and a marginal masterpiece that immerses itself in the universe and speech of the Wichí people, through its protagonist, Eisejuaz —imaginary or fictional, but in its origin very real— , whose links with ancient shamanism were not entirely dissociated from the actions of the so-called “Shamans of God”, and above all —through the figure of Santos Aparicio, or “Vicente Aparicio” in the novel—, with the intervention of cebil, the “hallucinogenic” plant.
