Happy Winter Solstice 2023

Inca Calendar
Written By Karupureq & Flamissia

Happy Andean New Year, brothers and sisters! This solstice day is the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. Like my ancestors, I am practicing this sacred tradition, greeting the sunrise and celebrating this important day by blowing the conch, offering a k'intu of three coca leaves, and blessing my misha.

My misha is a medicine bundle with gifts from the Pachamama , the Apus (spirits of the mountains), and from Mama Qocha (the spirit of Mother Sea.)

We send you the blessings of the Andean divinities. May this be a wonderful year for everyone.
