SHORI'S RITUAL ( Sharanahua Indians)

Shori is a hallucinogenic drink prepared from a jungle vine. Men undertake the hallucinatory Shori ritual throughout the year, and during the dry season , every two to three days. During the dry season there is heightened masculine activity. The men go out frequently on solitary hunting expeditions in which their luck is very important to their families' diet. During the rainy season, they take Shori only two or three times a month. In this season, they fish in  expeditions with their wives and kinswomen, and their luck is much less uncertain.
