MEXICO - Sacred Messenger Mulberry
AVAILABLE IN COMMERCIAL GRADE ONLY
In Nahuatl tradition, the guajolote (wild turkey) is gifted at life's big transitions — a birth, a marriage, a new beginning. Not just the animal, but what it represents: the abundance of the natural world.
Cuauhtémoc Wetzka, an illustrator from the mist-covered mountains of Veracruz, drew from that tradition to create Sacred Messenger — rendered in the colors and forms of his home region in Mexico.
