Rubén Medina (Paritzika)

Medicine Man & Tradition-Carrier · Wixárika tradition · Mexico City

Rubén Medina carries the spiritual name Paritzika, meaning the mediator between worlds. He is a guide of ancient knowledge, a temazcalero, and a singer of medicine songs. His calling is to be a bridge between the world of humans and the world of spirits, returning people to their true nature.

Since childhood, he received messages from unseen teachers. Through a deep connection with the sacred plants, peyote and Teonanácatl, he came to understand the essence of these messages and accepted his mission. Today he is a representative of the Center for Ancient Knowledge and the Saberes Ancestrales association in Mexico City.

His ceremonial work includes Teonanácatl and peyote ceremonies for healing and deep immersion, temazcal for purification and spiritual renewal, Sun Dance where he maintains the sacred fire, and musical ceremonies where healing comes through the vibrations of the voice and medicine songs.

In his own words: “My voice carries the power and knowledge of the Spirits. My task is to help people return to themselves through song, silence, and the sacred circle, where everyone can hear their own soul.”
