Abstract

[Extract] Interview conducted in May 2011 with Jose Diaz-LuIs, shaman Piaroa 57 years in the region of Parguaza (Venezuela). In shamanism Piaroa the dada tree (species Malouetia) plays a role central ritual like the other two substances that are hallucinogemes tuhuipa (Banisteriopsis caapi) and yopo (Anadenanthera peregrina). Ingested in the form of a prepared drink from its bark, dada allows access the invisible world, the eyes of insiders, it gives access to the conveyed by myths and ritual songs and pictures, and as such, it proves to be the source of all knowledge.

Dans le chamanisme des Piaroa, l'arbre dada (espece Malouetia) joue un role rituel central a l'instar des deux autres substances hallucinogemes que sont tuhuipa (Banisteriopsis caapi) et yopo (Anadenanthera peregrina). Ingere sous la forme d'une boisson preparee a partir de son ecorce, dada permet d'acceder au monde invisible: Aux yeux des initiés, il donne accès aux images véhiculées par les mythes et les chants rituels et, à ce titre, il s'avère la source de toute connaissance.
