1° PART

START:

1.       juan all the world greets him.

2.       he is one of the few healers or shamans that exist in this region.

3.       chaman is the name given in some cultures to the persons elected to serve as a link between the spiritual world and the material world.

4.       in this region of the sierra del peru, they are more known as curanderos.

5.       the curandero is also known as hampicamayuk yatiri hampiri or altomisayuq.

6.       they are asked to bless through different rituals any request, either for health or to be successful in an entrepreneurship.

7.       now juan is preparing to perform one of the most requested rituals in this region.

8.       payment to the land or pagapu pachamama.

9.       in this case the ritual is done to bless the purchase of a property.

10.   the pachamama is the goddess of the earth and fertility.

11.   in this ritual, the catholic religion and inca mythology are mixed in a practice called syncretism.

2° PArt

FIRST PARENThESIS:

1.       this is the feast of the virgin

2.       this is one of the many festivities in which the payment to the land is also made.

3.       here the pagapu ritual is very important

4.       on this date the celebration lasts 7 days in a mixture of pagan festivals and religious rituals

5.       the mixture of these religions creates a peculiar event on these dates and is indicative of how these rituals and beliefs coexisted with christianity upon the arrival of the spanish.

3° part

STAGES OF THE RITUAL:

1.       juan begins with the assembly and the requests

2.       in the assembly there are many trinkets, which represent these requests

3.       the quintu the quintu is when women choose the best coca leaves as a symbol of respect to the gods

4.       now juan does the pukuy

5.       the pukuy consists of blowing the leaves towards the apu

6.       this is a way in which the apu can receive your order

7.       it is a form of communication

8.       the apus are the mountains that are around, these are considered gods

9.       this is a mummed alpaca fetus

10.   alpaca cats are used as an offering and sacrifice to the gods

11.   any request must be directed to the apus

12.   each region of peru has its apus

13.   here at the entrance of the vilcanota knot the apu is called kunurana

4° part

SECOND parenthesis:

1.       the feast of the virgin takes place on october 7 of every year

2.       the bullfights are part of the entertainment of this party

3.       these animals are not sacreified aca the cattle play a very important role for the survival of people

4.       rather, these animals are very well cared for because they are the main food producers in this region.

5.       the religious part is very important,

6.       but in reality, this party is a cause for celebration and a way to release stress and put aside the problems that you live in this region

7.       in some strange way, religious rituals and the consumption of alcohol are part of these festivities.

8.       i personally believe that many people use these holidays as an excuse to satisfy their addictions, but it is peculiar as a religious party celebrating purity in people attracts so much decade.

9.       these are demons and they are part of the andean ritual

9.they are a representation of sin and temptation,

9.ironically, they are the ones who take the participants of this party to drink.

fireworks represent the right of bulls and are a good form of entertainment for these festivals.

5° part

final:

1.       the box where all the trinkets and representations are located is closed together with all the requests inside.

2.       when juan finishes praying, everyone goes outside where a bonfire is built and tribute is paid to the gods.

3.       there is no difference between both rituals they both end with fire

4.       in both cases the requests box is placed in the fireplace.

5.       fire is the duct between the gods and the healers.

Then we do the chayada.

6.       the chayada is a way to toast with mother earth or pachamama.

7.       and as is the case you always start to drink

8.       generally, in these rituals there are moments of tension when alcohol and egos awake hidden complexes that result in simple fighting.

9.       in this case, however everything was as it should go, there were no drams or fights, this was a payment to the earth without eventualities or problems, that can also be interpreted as a good judgment.

10.   in the andean culture of peru anything can have a meaning, it is very complex and has a compilation of many subcultures that result in many interpretations even from the same actions.

11.   it is something very interesting to see, and having lived it i understand part of what this culture makes so peculiar, i also understand that this mixture of subculturals and religions have an effect of complexity and conflict within each person, said in each person. peru has 80 percent of the world's climates. i believe that the same can be sayed about cultures and modisms.

12.   if the next day the campfire has a lot of ash, it is also considered a good omen, if not ... well.
