| Álvaro Estrada wrote her biography, //Vida de María Sabina: La sabia de los hongos// | //The Life of María Sabina: The Wisdom of the Mushrooms //(1977) that was translated into English by her husband, Henry Munn. Estarda and Munn also wrote and translated Sabina's works, poetry, and chants into English. They noted that much of Sabina's writings primarily focus on language and the transmission of language. In fact, Sabina argued that she cured people with Language, "the Language of the //saint children//" (Sabina 191). Sabina details (or at least Estarda and Munn do) that "The Mushroom of Language" is where Sabina found her calling in life, to commit herself to the Language of the divine given by the mushrooms. | Álvaro Estrada wrote her biography, //Vida de María Sabina: La sabia de los hongos// | //The Life of María Sabina: The Wisdom of the Mushrooms //(1977) that was translated into English by her husband, Henry Munn.

Her story, what she lived and what she knew, belongs to a language that we do not understand or speak." Even with this hurdle to consider, Sabina's writing is profoundly poetic and philosophical, exploring the connections between language, nature, and the subconscious" (citation). | However, as Giuliana Furci, founder of //The Fungi Foundation// notes, "It is important to clarify that the life of María Sabina is reported and recorded by others.
