Ojo de Dios

Ojo de Dios:

In 1966 I was back in Guadalajara again, and saw a Huichol Indian on the pedestrian bridge leading to the marketplace, in his arms a large bundle of ojos. I watched from my vantage place on the second story of that huge central market, fascinated by this Indian’s all white clothes and easy slow movements, as he stood for a few moments and surveyed the busy scene around him while holding his very colorful bundle. Later I bought a couple of the ojos and took them back to where I was staying in the small and exotic town of Ajijic, on Lake Chapala.

    This appears to be a slightly altered version of a fragment of my Ojos de Dios story …. very strange. Also, this is a picture of an Ojos de Dios that I have on my website for several years now as an example of an Ojo you can make yourself, using my elaborrate online instructions. Visit my ojos-de-dios.com website and see what I mean, and see many more examples of this type of ojo
