THE PESCADOR DE SUEÑOS THEORY

I continued to be enthusiastic with this idea and started to form integrated groups composed with different profiles of people. During these sessions I shared with them four mescals from different agave families, trying only to understand a little how to enjoy the mescal. I managed to lose their fear on alcoholic graduation and the initial smoky flavors until they understood a bit the taste hidden in each sip. After the taste I continued to guide the study to a deeper level in order to open communication allowing the members to talk about different topics.
I was surprised by the fact that certain topics were repeated in the groups that tried mescal from the same species of agave.
I am neither a chemist nor a biologist, so I took the path of metaphysics and Bach flowers principles, followed by some training courses where I learned to pendulate questions directed to the distinct species of agave and getting some answers.
I needed to land my idea on a scientific level and decided to formalize the following hypothesis:

By drinking mescals from different families of agave, a different effect occurs in our nervous system, which is reflected in different feelings

AGAVE NUTRITION
Agaves are plants that have a CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) metabolism, this means that while must of the plants absorb and fix CO2 (carbon dioxide) during the day, in CAM plants the two processes are separated into time. The CO2 used in photosynthesis is absorbed at night and store don the cells in form of malic acid. The next day, the CO2 is released from the malic acid and is supplied for the formation of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are biomolecules composed of C (carbon), H (hydrogen) and O (oxygen), whose main functions in living beings are providing immediate and structural energy.
Agaves require semi-dry climate, with average temperatures of 22°C (71°F), generally at an altitude between 1,500 y 2,000 m (4920 – 6560 ft). The characteristics of the soil for optimum growth, must be clayey, permeable and abundant in elements derived from basalt and with the presence of iron preferably volcanic.
As an example, in Oaxaca each species develops in different microclimate and, according to the characteristics of the subsoil in which they grow, it is nourished by different minerals.
In the Valley Region the following minerals predominate:





Mica
Copper
Graphite
Ilmenite






Plaster
Clay
Marble
Iron
Zinc
MIND REACTIONS
Drinking these mescals contributes with different chemical compounds to our bodies, and produces a direct effect on the brain signals, releasing neurotransmitters, wich are biomolecules that transmit information between our neurons.
Some neurotransmitters and their effect in our body are:

THE FEELINGS OF MESCALS

MEXICANO



JABALÍ


TOBALÁ
Sense of freedom
Sense of abundance
Sense of achievement









COYOTE



ARROQUEÑO


CUISHITO
Sense of introspection
Sense of wisdom
Sense of childhood











MADRE CUISHE





CUISHE





BICUISHE
Sense of sexuality
Sense of sexual domain
Sense of sexual maturity
Son of deserted fields, its dry appearance seems lifeless and tricks the death. Bicuishe hides in the belly of the maguey’s core the fertility of a scared drink.











MARTEÑO





PECHUGA





ESPADÍN
Sense of desire
Sense of sharing
Sense of socializing









TEPEZTATE
Sense of healing

COYOTE
Sense of introspection
In its savage fidelity, Coyote is in one tempo relief, pause, and substance (spirit) that examines, a taste that awaits behind the sip to sneak twice out of its hideout.





ARROQUEÑO
Sense of wisdom




CUISHITO
Sense of childhood







MADRE CUISHE
Sense of sexuality
