Just like in all the cultures of the world, the Incas venerated the "𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐢 𝐓𝐚𝐲𝐭𝐚," or Father Sun. In this month of June a great festival dedicated to the sun was held beneath the image of "Punchao," (𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘶𝘯).

They say that the festival lasted almost a month, beginning on June 21st, the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere. This great celebration was held primarily to express recognition and gratitude for the Tayta Inti. Today it is re-enacted as “Inti Raymi".

Brothers and sisters of Andean Wisdom Path, it's already the middle of October. In this post we will talk about this month the Incas called, "UMA RAIMI QUILLA." This has always been the month in the Andes when the farmers depended most on sufficient rainfall for the survival of the people. In the Inca times, the Andean people would perform certain ceremonies and practices to cry for rain if their crops were in danger of drying up.

AUGUST - "Yapaquis" in Quechua: the Pachamama month, and the month for sowing.

Welcome, brothers & sisters of Andean Wisdom Path! We are continuing with our Andean Cosmovision mystic posts. Starting today, we will post about the Andean Inka calendar and the events that happen each month.
