マサテコ族社会においてサルビア・ディビノラムは重要な宗教的地位を占めている。現地名でサルビア・ディビノラムはska Mariaないしはska Pastoraと呼ばれており、聖母マリアの化身であると考えられている。このような宗教的側面から英語圏ではSage of the Seers(予言者のセージ)やDiviners’ Sage(占い師のセージ)と呼ばれる[11]。また、非常に神聖視されているため、その栽培場所は秘匿されており、近代に至るまで西欧の記録に載らなかった理由の一つとなっている。しかしながらサルビア・ディビノラムの起源については明らかではない。スペイン人による征服以前からマサテコ族が現地に居住していたことは確認されているが、S. divinorumがそれ以前から自生していたのか、あるいは人為的に交配されたものなのであるかは判明していない。しかしながら伝統的にS. divinorumの使用を行っているのはマサテコ族のみであるため、マサテコ族ないしは滅亡したアステカ族がその起源に深くかかわっていると推測される[5]。また前述した通り、サルビア・ディビノラムは受粉による栽培が難しいため、マサテコ族は株分けによってサルビア・ディビノラムを栽培しており、マサテコ族がもつサルビア・ディビノラムはすべてクローン個体である[12]。また野生とされるサルビア・ディビノラムもすべてマサテコ族の旧居住地近くから発見されていることから、サルビア・ディビノラムが栽培種であるという仮説も提唱されている。
