The Mythology
To the pre-Incan peoples of Peru and Bolivia, Pachamama (pronounced pah'cha-ma-ma), or Mamapacha, is the Earth, worshipped in her many forms: the tilled fields, her mountains seen as breasts, the flowing rivers as her milk. To ensure good harvests, corn meal is sprinkled at planting and rituals celebrating her are performed. When people fail to honor her, this dragon Goddess sends earthquakes as a reminder.
The Lessons of this Goddess
Pachamama waits for you with open arms. It is time to open to
Pachamama's embrace. Now is the time to heal/whole and remember
your holiness, remember yourself as a sacred being. Do you
feel a connection with Earth Mother as a living entity or do
you consider the earth an inert rock beneath your feet? Are you in
the middle of some emotional pain that nothing seems to ease? Do
you eat food and drink water without giving thanks to the earth?
Are you looking for answers to questions? Do you spend time in
nature opening to the earth and her vital energies? Opening to
Pachamama can occur anyplace. You can commune with her in a
city park, your own backyard, some remote forest, jungle, or
desert. The Goddess says that healing/wholing is nurtured when
you open to her.
