The Aztecs believed the seeds from the I. tricolor allowed them to be in direction communion with the Sun God. These seeds were considered sacred among the Aztecs along with other entheogenic plants known for their ability to open doors into the unseen worlds similar to Peyote and Salvia divinorum. Like many tribes in South America, the Aztecs believed that every plant has a spirit and a consciousness, however only a few held the gift to open these portals to other worlds. The Chontal and Mazatec Indians believed that there is a strong spiritual energy that resides within this plant, as well as embodying a very evolved spirit that allowed the people of that time to communicate with their Gods.
