Cf. the Anadarko Delaware phrase “ear-eating” for peyote-eating (Speck, _Notes on the Life of John Wilson_, 552). [78] An especially handsome and regular one, oriented with a thorn on its “north” side, had fifteen full radial lines of hair-tufts. Of three others, one was kept in a woman’s small mirrored vanity-case, a pomade jar, and a silk handkerchief, all carefully wrapped up. Another very old one was given his brother-in-law, Yellow Bird, by a Comanche. A cracked one was kept in a beaded buckskin pouch along with a Catholic medallion dated 1890; it had been given him by an Apache. He has also preserved one given his wife by Mexicans at El Rio on their first peyote trip in 1926, and tied up with the mother’s he keeps two little ones which helped his little girl. And finally, there were seven which he laid behind the whistle one New Year’s meeting to represent the seven days of the week; his daughter drank the water in which they were soaked and became well in seven days. She is a grown woman now and he still keeps these peyotes which have so well demonstrated their power. [79] The Comanche leader Mumsika still preserves a famous peyote button formerly belonging to Kutubi which performed prophecies on an historical war party into Texas (Hoebel, _Comanche Field Notes_). The anxiety of Clyde Koko (Kiowa) when he thought he had lost his “father peyotes” after changing his mind about sending them back to their original country, well demonstrates the psychological reality of these fetishisms.

No native with whom the writer is acquainted has to date noted the obvious Shakespearean reference to peyote, in the speech of Banquo as the three witches vanish incorporeally into thin air (Macbeth I, iii): “Were such things here as we do speak about, or have we eaten on the insane root that takes the reason prisoner?” [85] The Carrizo-Lipan had no crescent mound, which is probably of Mescalero origin.
