Smile on
Smile on eternal
Like the prince of Popocatapetl

Over 100 years ago an ancient statue of the Aztec deity Xochipilli was discovered on the slopes of Popocataptl, a sacred volcano in southern Mexico. For many years the significance of the statue remained a mystery until it was discovered that it depicted Xochipilli undergoing a psychedelic experience. Following this discovery, Xochipilli has become an icon of the psychedelic movement. Click here for more information on Xochi by Colin Angus and an illustration by Martin Kavanagh.
