ABSTRACT The article addresses a phenomenon that is interested in anthropologists: the constitution and expansion of networks and groups that interact from a spiritual discourse with native, ecological and mystical elements. It addresses the case of young "followers of the Red Road" in the State of Mexico. These individuals are self-enrolled in the rituals mandated by the "Sacred Fire of Izachilatlan" (FSI), such as The Dance of the Sun, The Seek of Vision, El Temascal and the Half Moon Ceremony, where it consumes peyote or ayahuasca for medicinal purposes and religious. They contextualize and describe the local and global relations of this group. Heuristically, he uses the notions of "controversy" and "actor-network" to understand the processes of (re) association or social reassembly around a discourse and spiritual practices that are expanding in Latin America and Europe within the framework of what some have called "neomexicanidad" or "neochamanismo", attached to the sensitivity New Age.
