The Gods of Inca Mythology

The majority of the world’s religions speak of a single God who created the universe, but in Inca mythology, many deities were involved in the creation of the cosmos. They each had a role in forming different elements of the sky, earth and underworld.

The most important god to the ancient Inca was Viracocha. He was the first of the creator deities, responsible for designing the heavens. From his own form, he established the sun, moon, planets and stars. When he commanded the sun to move over the sky, time itself was created, allowing for the rise of civilization. He was represented as wearing the sun for a crown, with thunderbolts in his hands, and tears descending from his eyes as rain.

The second most important deity of the Inca pantheon was Inti. He was the sun god, and it is uncertain whether he was a brother of Viracocha, or his son. He brought light and warmth to the lands, and became known as the ‘Giver of Life’. He later sent his children to earth to start the Inca civilisation. Inti and his sister, Mama Killa (Moon goddess) were generally considered benevolent deities.

Coniraya was a male Moon God, associated with the creation of life. Legend says that as he wandered over the earth, plants and animals appeared. He held dominion over agriculture, and helped the farmers irrigate their fields. He once fashioned his sperm into the fruit of the Lumca Tree, which was eaten by Cavillaca, a beautiful virgin goddesses. Cavillaca became pregnant and ran away in shame. Coniraya went in search of her and his child, but sadly, when he found them, they had both turned into stone.

Kon was the first born of Inti and Mama Killa, who resided over the rains. He was strong and lithe, which allowed him to move quickly over the the plains of Peru. Kon was lonely, so he created the first race of humans. He set them down in a pleasant, fertile land, and gave them grain which they could harvest, and fruits which ripened quickly. His creations wanted for nothing.

During the rule of these early gods, Kon’s human creations became lazy and wicked, so Kon punished them with drought. He would only dispense his life giving waters if they worked hard enough to earn his favour. Kon’s tyrannical regime soon came to an end with the appearance of his brother Pachacamac (Inti’s son).

Pachacamac was known as the "Creator of the World", and immediately challenged his brother Kon. After a tremendous struggle, Pachacamac managed to drive Kon from the land. His became the new god of Peru, and redesigned it as a paradise. He wasn’t so fond of the Kon’s mortal creations, however, and turned into monkeys. In their place, he created a new race of humans (the ancestors of the Inca). In return, these people made Pachacamac their supreme deity.

After the dethronement of Kon, a new god was needed hold dominion over the rain. This role was gifted to llapu, who used the power of the storm to fertilise the lands. The Incas believed the Milky Way as a heavenly river, where Illapu's sister stored a great water jug. When Illapu struck the jug with a bolt of lightning, it would create the sound of thunder, and release a heavenly rain. He appeared as a man in shining clothes, carrying a club and stones.

Catequil was another storm god, linked specifically to lightning. Legend say’s he created thunder-bolts by striking the clouds with his sacred spear and a mighty club. He was venerated as a weather deity, who could divine the future. Catequil was linked to a myth about the twins Apocatequil and Piguerao. Many Incan people believe Apocatequil was none other than the lightening god in human form.

The story goes that the twin brothers, Apocatequil and Piguero, were conceived by a woman who had sex with a sky god. Her name was Cautaguan, and she bore her sons within two eggs. Close to their birth, the goddess was killed by her brothers (the Guachimines). Once her sons hatched, they revived their mother, and took vengeance on their uncles by hurling lightening bolts at them.

Apocatequil become the prominent leader of the Inca, and served as the chief priest for the lunar deity, Coniraya. To keep Apocatequil happy, the Inca built statues of his noble self and placed them upon the mountaintops.

Below these mountains lived Urcaguary, a chthonic deity, who resided over underground treasures (metals and jewels). He guarded them from greedy interlopers who tried to steal them, and had a formidable appearance. He was often depicted as a large snake with the antlers of a deer, and a tail coiled with gold chains.

For those who wished to secure a safer way to wealth, there was always Ekkeko. He was the god of abundance, called upon by his followers for luck and prosperity. The ancient Inca made dolls that represented him and surrounded them with miniature version of their desires (pets, treasure, food, etc). This was believed to help manifest whatever it was their hearts desired.

Another God revered for his prosperity was Urcuchillay. This bestial god was worshipped by Inca herders, who watched over the herds of Peru. He was prayed to for their well-being. Urcuchillay would often bring good fortune to his followers, ensuring their protection in the wilderness. It was said he possessed a bright, multicoloured coat, a symbol of life and wonder.

Yet life and prosperity couldn’t last forever, as all paths eventually lead to the grave. This final feature of the Inca life was ruled over by Supay, the god of death. He lived in Ukhu Pacha (the underworld), with an army of demons. Miners would also pray to him for a safe decent into the underworld, when they went digging for precious treasure. Ukhu Pacha was not such a terrible place, for it was linked to the womb of mother earth (Pachamama). The subterranean waters of ‘Ukhu Pacha’ were believed to have rejuvenating qualities, which linked the health and prosperity of the Inca people.

Koniec grudnia – jak wiadomo – obfituje w świętowanie, a jednocześnie to czas wolny. Po kilku dniach spędzonych za stołem, po świątecznym obżarstwie nie można było inaczej… pora poruszać się trochę.

Ostatni weekend roku, z samego rana poświęciłyśmy na naszą nową aktywność czyli konie. Do tego w pięknej zimowej aurze! Jak zwykle w Coniraya, gdzie oprócz oddanych i kompetentnych instruktorów, obcowanie z niesamowitymi zwierzętami: kucykami, końmi, lamami i alpakami pozwala na pełny relaks i oderwanie się od codzienności.

Ola uwielbia wyjazdy do Coniraya. Nie boi się zwierząt, wchodzi między nie, czyści, karmi. A z alpakami rozmawia! I coś w tym jest… alpakoterapia!

Kolejny dzień obudził nas pięknym słońcem więc trudno tego było nie wykorzystać. Nie ma to jak w tak piękny poranek rozpocząć kolejny nasz wspólny sezon narciarski. Pogoda sprawiła, że musiałyśmy wybrać się aż do Kluszkowców. Ja ten stok już znałam, dla Oli był to pierwszy wyjazd na tą górę. Weekend świąteczny spowodował, że dojazd był utrudniony, a przy wyciągach dość duże kolejki. Ale pogoda rekompensowała wszystko. Aż trudno uwierzyć, że w okolicach Krakowa było buro i bez śniegu.

Duża ilość narciarzy sprawiła, że parkingi pod stokiem stały się niewystarczające stąd auto trzeba było zostawić na poboczu, całkiem spory kawałek od dolnej stacji narciarskiej. Szybki zakup karnetów, wizyta w szkółce narciarskiej – dla Oli, i już można było korzystać do woli z uroków białego szaleństwa w krainie śpiącego wulkanu. Bo Góra Wdżar według wielu właśnie uśpiony wulkan o czym świadczy jej budowa czyli skała andezytowa (skała magmowa). Dodatkową atrakcją tej góry są pozostałość po kamieniołomach oraz gołoborza (tak charakterystyczne dla Gór Świętokrzyskich).

I to miejsce ma również swoją legendę, która głosi, że stało tu kiedyś bardzo bogate miasto zwane Gorczańska Sodomą. A że jego mieszkańcy żyli w grzechu i rozpuście zostali ukarani – pochłonął ich piekielny ogień, z którego wyłoniła się postać smoka pozostawiająca skałę przypominającą smocze jajo. Niezwykłości tej górze dodaje fakt, że jako jedno z nielicznych miejsc w Polsce, posiada anomalię magnetyczną oraz jedyne występowanie na terenie Polski paproci – rozrzutka brunatnego, objętego całkowitą ochroną.

Ze szczytu rozpościera się przepiękny widok: zarówno na Jezioro Czorsztyński i Tatry jak i na Gorce i Pieniny. Dodatkowego uroku dodawał śnieg skrzący się w słońcu. Czegoż można więcej chcieć – nic tylko łapać każdą chwilę!

Dlatego szusowałyśmy aż do późnego wieczoru.

A w drodze powrotnej Ola regenerowała siły 🙂

  Wiadomości praktyczne:

Czorsztyn-ski jest włączony do systemu “Karnet TatrySki”, który można zakupić zarówno on-line jak i w kasach stacjonarnych;

Ośrodek posiada osiem tras zjazdowych, osiem wyciągów (krzesełkowych, orczykowych, taśmowych) oraz trasę biegową wokół góry Wdżar (ok. 5 km);

Przy stoku działa szkółka narciarska (1h jazdy z instruktorem dla jednej osoby kosztuje 75 zł) oraz wypożyczalnia nart.

Zakończenie roku na sportowo

Now, I only played the game once so I haven really tested any other playstyles, but my tactic was to rely entirely on sound and waiting it out, only moving when I can hear it anymore. However, it later tried to bait me by simply standing still not making any noise, making me think it gone. It would also sometimes enter the vents and then a few moments later emerge from the same vent trying to jump me (before it just went away).. And part of being beautiful is being appropriate. Going to the gym in 4 inch high heels doesn't make sense. By the same token, if what you are 수원출장마사지 wearing to work is a business suit, in a conservative environment, why 수원출장마사지 would you wear iridescent, bizarre colors that don't go with your outfit?. Cavillacewas a virgin goddess who ate a fruit, which was actually the sperm of Coniraya, the moon god. When she gave birth to a son, she demanded that the father step forward. No one did, so she put the baby on the ground and it crawled towards Coniraya. They kinda bitchy office job Karens. Haircuts and all. Halfway thru the meal she snaps me over (just about the 6th time I been snapped at since they got there), to inquire if there are peppers in the rice. Her being younger and having less influence means nothing. She shouldn't have been so rude towards Tati in her video if she didn't want to be called out for it. Tati wasn't even "bullying" her, all she did was repeat Kiki's own words. Then they showed the replays and the cheers became genuine concern.I remember watching a rerun of the race when I got home and Murray Walker mentioned the cheering crowd and thought it was distasteful. But at that time we didn know it was a bad one, just that the of the was out of the race.Everyone stood and applauded when the ambulance made its way around the circuit to the medical centre.Meanwhile, I learned a valuable lesson about applying sun cream to my ear that day. 61 points submitted 1 year agoI honestly wouldn mind paying for the F1 channel if that all I had to pay for. Xander on Relics and Rarities is an excellent example of someone flavouring a class. He plays a Druid but when casting spells he pulls out potions, vials and other concoctions to represent the spell.Talgian 2 points submitted 3 hours agoNot sure it necessarily fits every campaign, but the Realms has (rare) firearms and airships. Both ToA (specifically Tomb of the Nine Gods) and DotMM have some pretty advanced magitech that I could imagine created by an artificer.So it may not fit for the feel of a specific campaign, but that true with any class. Not the person you replying to, but Cory Monteith and Mark Salling were both 28 when playing 15 16yo characters on Glee. I also just watched the movie Dumplin on Netflix today in which 27yo Danielle Macdonald played a high schooler. Tobey Maguire was also around 27 when he played teenage Peter Parker. The same goes for PCOS and Endometriosis. And those are just the diseases I'm familiar with. The "Fat Acceptance" Movement as you so ignorantly called it, is important and should matter to everyone. The only way to make my eyebrows even at this point is to make one side thicker and It will not look good at all. My mistake was that I grew out my eyebrows and I gave her a picture of what my eyebrows usually look like when threaded and that how i wanted them.Aayu07 4 points submitted 1 year agoI have been following a good ab routine for about 6 months now my skin is doing really good. I don usually get acne and skin is hydrated and plump.

Como Viracocha, Coniraya Viracocha ensinou humanos. Ele viajou em trapos e muitas vezes foi confundido com um mendigo. Aqueles que não o reconheceram geralmente lhe deram pouco respeito. Durante suas viagens, Coniraya Viracocha ouviu falar sobre uma Huaca virgem e bonita, Cavillaca (ou Cavillace). Quando a viu, ele se apaixonou por ela e a queria desesperadamente, mas ela não queria saber de nada. Um dia, ele viu Cavillaca tecendo sob uma lombra (uma árvore costeira que dá frutas laranja amareladas). Ele mudou para um pássaro, voou para dentro da árvore e colocou sua semente em uma das frutas maduras, depois a deixou cair junto a Cavillaca. Ela comeu a fruta e engravidou. Nove meses depois, ela deu à luz um menino, ainda sem saber como engravidou. Quando a criança tinha um ano de idade, Cavillaca decidiu descobrir quem era seu pai. Ela pediu a ajuda de espíritos masculinos (Vilcas e Huacas) por aí, que se apresentavam esperando reivindicar a paternidade e amor da bela Cavillaca. Discreto entre eles estava Coniraya Viracocha, vestido com seus trapos habituais. Cavillaca perguntou à assembléia qual deles era pai de seu filho, mas ninguém falou. Cavillaca colocou o filho no chão para ver o que o filho de deus iria fazer. Lentamente, a criança engatinhou aos pés de Coniraya Viracocha e ficou agarrada à coxa de seu pai. Furioso em ter um personagem tão horrível para marido, Cavillaca agarrou a criança e fugiu para o mar, oeste (Lima). Lá, perto do local de Pachacamac (ao sul de Lima atual), foi para a água, onde ela e seu filho mudaram para pedra.

STORIES & FAIRYTALES — Accepting

@liikesomekindaphxntom​

“A story? Fine. Let me tell you about the Magical Fruit, which is, I believe, a story from Midgard... Once upon the time when powerful magicians lived on your Earth, Coniraya was the most powerful. With his wand, he turned mountains into prairies, created water where there was none, made the strong weak and the tall small. Sometimes, because he loved jokes and tricks, he simply set out to find funny pranks to do. At the time Coniraya was the most powerful magician, Cavillaca was the most beautiful woman. She was so beautiful that every man who met her immediately wanted to marry her. But Cavillaca was proud: no one was handsome or powerful enough for her ; and she refused to get married. One day Coniraya was talking a walk, diguised in a simple poor Indian man, he saw Cavillaca sitting under a tree and, like everyone else, he wanted to marry her. “Good day to you, beautiful Cavillaca”, he told her. But she kept her eyes staring down at her sewing work. Coniraya thus had the idea to pull a prank on her. A moment later, he became a large bird which magnificent feathers glimmered in the colors of the rainbow. He extended his wings and landed on the lucuma above Cavillaca and started to sing. But Cavillaca kept her eyes staring down at her sewing work.Coniraya had another idea. He casted a spell on a fruit hanging from the lucuma. It was a beautifully golden orange fruit, perfectly ripe. He buried inside it a powerful spell before gently dropping it in Cavillaca’s bosom. The fruit looked so amazing that she took a hold of it. It smelled so good she took a bite. It tasted so nice she devoured it whole. She did not suspect it to be enchanted!Months went by and, because the fruit was bewitched, Cavillaca gave birth to a little boy. It was a baby happy, smiling, of a rare beauty, whom she loved with all her heart. But, as curious as she was, she wondered who casted a spell on her to give her this baby? How was he conceived? When? Days after days, she thought about this mystery. Finally, when her son reached one year old and knew how to crawl, she decided to find the father of this beautiful child and marry him for it could only be an excessively handsome and powerful man. Consequently, she summoned all of the most powerful magicians of this world. Of course, everyone arrived dressed to the nines, hoping Cavillaca would notice them. Everyone but Coniraya! Once again, he had put on his worn out clothes to look like a poor Indian.The reunion started. Carrying her baby in her arms, Cavillaca got up, proud and gorgeous. “Until this day, she said, I always refused to get married. But today, I solemnly swear to marry the father of my child, did he make himself known.” No one spoke. No move moved. “Since no one is speaking, my son will, she declared. He will recognize his father and go towards him.” Upon those words, she put the baby down. Immediately, he crawled towards the miserable Indian man and, once he got to his feet, looked up at him and held his arms out. The proud Cavillaca burst out in anger: she did not want to marry a poor Indian! She rushed to her baby, held him against her and shouted:“Despite my promise, I can never marry this poor man! I would rather die!” Hugging her son, she ran away.“Stop! Come back! Coniraya begged. Things are not always what they seem!”But Cavillaca ignored him: she kept running. Thus, Coniraya hit the ground with his empty wand and, in the blink of an eye, he was dressed in a sumptuous, blinding golden attire. “Beautiful Cavillaca, he went, turn around! Look at me and how handsome I am.”But she kept running. Both terrified by Cavillaca stubborn pride and sorry about the trick he had played on her, Coniraya ran after her. As she heard him getting closer, she mustered up her own magic and hid herself from him before resuming her run. Coniraya could not tell where Cavillaca was but decided to find her no matter what it took. He ran and ran, asking those he met. But it was vain. But after some time, luck favored him: he met the Condor. The bird had seen Cavillaca and could help him find the path she took. Coniraya blessed him:“I give you the power to fly over the valleys and find food wherever you are. Cursed be those who kill the Condor!” Coniraya resumed his chase and luck was on his side again: he met the Falcon who also had seen Cavillaca. Coniraya blessed him: “I give you the power to rise over the peaks. By their chants and danses, Indians will always celebrate the Falcon.”Coniraya resumed his chase and luck was, once again, on his side: he met the Puma who could also show him the way Cavillaca went. Coniraya blessed him again:“I give you power over every other living creature. Always and everywhere, the Indians will honor the Puma.”Coniraya resumed his chase and finally reached the sea. He saw Cavilliaca running down the beach. He called her but she did not turn back. Gathering her powers once more, and holding her son tighter in her arms, she threw herself into the waves. One moment later, the beautiful Cavillaca and her beautiful baby were gone. Both had disappeared. In their place, two rocks, a big and a smaller one, nestled against one another under the caress of the waves. And that is all.”

The Goddesses of Inca Mythology

The Inca civilization flourished in the Andes mountains of South America between 1400 CE, and the early 1500's. Inca society was a theocratic society, meaning that politics and religion were completely intertwined. The Inca religion combined features of animism, fetishism, and the worship of nature gods representing forces of nature. The state religion focused on the worship of a many major figures, of which the goddesses played a major role.

Pachamama was an earth goddess, associated with seasons, fertility, planting and harvesting. Her form embodied the mountains, and was also known to cause earthquakes. She was one of the primordial deities of the Inca pantheon, who sustained all life on earth. The Inca believed that problems arose when people took too much from nature, thus placing a great strain on Pachamama.

Mama Cocha was another primordial deity, who resided over the sea. She protected fishermen and sailors, making sure that they had plenty of fish, preventing storms, and calming the seas. She was said to have dominion over all bodies of water (i.e. rain, rivers and seas), which were said to have healing properties. As the wife of the supreme God Viracocha, Mama Cocha was the mother of Mama Quilla, Goddess of the moon, and her brother Inti, God of the sun.

Mama Killa resided over marriage and the menstrual cycle, and was considered a defender of women. Her lunar cycle helped the Inca people calculate the passage of time, upon which many rituals were based. The Inca people loved Mama Killa and believed that a lunar eclipse marked a moment where a mountain lion or serpent was attacking her. To protect their beloved moon goddess, they would attempt to scare it away by throwing weapons, gesturing wildly and making as much noise as possible. They feared that if the beast ever achieved its aim, then the world would be left in darkness.

Mama Ocllo was a fertility Goddess who founded the Inca capital Cuzco with her husband/brother Manco Capac. Legend says she gave Manco Capac a golden staff, telling him that wherever he could sink the staff into the ground with one push, he should build a temple to the sun. Once this sacred spot was found, Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo gathered the people together at Cuzco, and Mama Ocllo taught the women how to weave clothes and harvest crops.

Chasca ("The long-haired Star") was the goddess of the dawn and twilight, linked to the planet Venus. She was the protectress of virgins and young girls, and associated with spring and renewal. She uses light to draw sprouts from the ground and inspire blossoms. She was regarded as a love goddess, and according to lore, she communicates to people through clouds and dew in a type of geomantic divination.

Cavillace was a virgin goddess. She ate a fruit, which was actually the sperm of Coniraya, a fertility god. When she gave birth to a son, she demanded that the father step forward. No one did, so she put the baby on the ground, and it crawled towards Coniraya. She was ashamed because of Coniraya's low stature among the gods, and ran to the coast of Peru, where she changed herself and her son into rocks.

Copacati was a lake Goddess, who represented the great waters of Lake Titicaca. She was often represented by images of serpents or snakes and legend says she sunk a whole town into the waters of the great lake, making her a figure to be both feared and revered.

Sachamama was the goddess of the forest, whose name means 'mother tree'. Legend says she grew so large, she can no longer move about the jungle and stayed in a single spot, allowing vegetation to grow over her body. If unsuspecting passersby got too close, Sachamama would devour them whole. She would remain for hundreds of years in the same place, and when she stood upright, she would take on the form of the world tree.

Mama Allpa was an Earth Goddess, who nourishes all life. She is depicted with multiple breasts, and represents the womb of the world. This links her with other many breasted goddesses, such as Ishtar (Mesopotamian) and Artemis (Greek). She helped to bring about a bountiful harvest, feeding the masses of the Inca Empire.

Mama Sara ("maize mother") was the Goddess of grain and fertility, associated with maize. When a stick of maize developed multiple growths, it was said to look like the head and limbs of Mama Sara. In such cases, the Inca people would dress the maize like a doll, treating it as a manifestation of Mama Sara.

Mama Kuka was a coca Goddess, associated with health and joy. In Incan mythology Mama Kuka was originally a promiscuous woman who was cut in half by her many lovers. From her body grew the first coca plant the leaves of which are chewed to boost energy and are used by the Andean priests in ritual offerings known as k'intus.

Axomama was one of the daughters of Pachamama. Her name literally means Potato mother. Potatoes were a vital food source for the Incan people, and most villages would have a particularly odd-shaped potato to worship, embodying the spirit of Axomama. They would pray to this idol for a good harvest.

The majority of the goddesses in the Inca pantheon represented fertility and abundance. In order to maintain this plentiful living, the goddesses needed to be satisfied via the sacrifice of precious goods and animals, especially llamas. Humans were also sacrificed (albeit it on a smaller scale than other American cultures), by hitting them on the head while under the effects of alcohol. The hope was that they would be in a state of happiness when they first encountered their beloved goddess.
