The Qero are lovely-hearted people who live in very isolated villages in the high Andes and who still live a life immersed in the Andean Cosmovision<\/a>. I was in Peru as part of a small group participating in a trip organized by Carla Woody<\/a> and sponsored in part by Kenosis Spirit Keepers<\/a> (the non-profit organization of which Carla is the president and I am the vice-president). The purpose of the trip was to provide an opportunity for a Hopi spiritual leader to meet in ceremony with Qero paqos<\/a>.\u00a0 We arrived at sunset at an ancient site in the Andes of Peru known as ‘Killarumi’.<\/p>\n

\"Killarumi<\/a>

Killarumi<\/p><\/div>\n

Mamma Killa is the Cosmic Being who is our moon, and ‘rumi’ is a Quechua word for ‘stone’, so the place is that of the Moonstone. Andeans would visit this ancient site to get in touch with feminine energy, which is deeply powerful and in tune with the Earth. Women would come to give offerings and to meditate if they were having difficulties conceiving or when they were nearing the time of giving birth.<\/p>\n

\"Altar<\/a>

In the moonlight this stone glows with a beautiful light.<\/p>\n

\"Cave<\/a>

This being a place of feminine energy there is a cave nearby. We meditated at the Moonstone and then we entered the cave. In the cave the Pachamama (the great mother who is the planet Earth) draws all of the hucha (heavy, discordant, energy) from your body.<\/p>\n

\"Andes<\/a>

After meditating we climbed a bit further up the mountain to where the Qero were waiting.<\/p>\n

\"Qero<\/a>

Qero Await<\/p><\/div>\n

The Qero were waiting for us in a field. As we entered the field the men began to play their quenas (flutes) and the women began to sing.<\/p>\n

\"Carla<\/a>

\"Moon<\/a>

By the time the ceremony ended night (Mamma Tuta) had arrived.<\/p>\n

Killarumi is a place of feminine energy. The Andean Cosmovision is based upon the complementarity of opposites, a place of decidedly masculine energy will be shown in a later post.<\/em><\/p>\nShare... <\/span>\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
