The Amaru or Katari (Aymara) a majestic twin headed serpent like creature depicted across Andean Civilizations, Originally said to have been capable of transcending spiritual and otherworldly boundaries for the world was Separated into the realm of the gods and birds, Hanan Pacha or the world above; the world where mankind resides the Kay Pacha or world of the present; and finally the underground realm of the dead or the Ukhu Pacha, the world below. where its said the Amaru would move the world by its shear size and force of will, creating many of the mountainous outcroppings seen in the region, or creating devastating earthquakes. This would gain the great beasts the ire of the of gods and leading to cataclysmic and deadly conflict's the great serpents deaths would create vast mountain ranges.

The revered creatures lore and depictions would be altered to suit changing society's and foreign colonial influence trying and suppress Indigenous beliefs and values, some Incan rulers even tried to harness this power by adopting name for themselves to try and cement their political gain . Eventually this lead to depictions that suited a more chimeric monstrous for, reflecting its old world counter parts, adopting traits from many other creature, to now be defeated by mere humans.

some cultures preserved and even re incorporated these new aspects with the old, creating hybrid depictions and gaining very broad symbolism such as the economy of water, and tending to the land, and even more cosmological aspects of space or wisdom, or simple fundamentals of the creativity of the peoples, sometimes these new Amaru could be seen clashing with each other. representing the more destructive side of nature, devastating the peoples and the lands, too only be stopped by the storms themselves or through the intervention of their old rivals, now taking a new cast of god's. once again through death creating the Mantaro valley returning to their earthly roots.

El Cuero from South America.

El Cuero, meaning "the hide" or "leather," resembles a primitive stingray with wide pectoral fins and a barb-less, whip-like tail. Its eyes are on stalks, and it boasts an extendable mouth akin to a sturgeon. Witnesses describe razor-sharp claws along its fringes, used to secure prey, and there are even suggestions that it utilizes hunting knives from previous victims as weapons. El Cuero's size ranges from 2 to 5 feet across, weighing approximately 65 pounds.

According to South American natives, El Cuero is dubbed the "aquatic tiger" due to its reputation as a voracious predator. Similar to a crocodile, the creature is said to surge out of the lake, overpowering its prey, often humans. It allegedly employs a proboscis to puncture the skin and extract internal organs and blood. El Cuero is said to seize individuals and animals while they bathe or cross the water, employing an irresistible contraction by folding upon itself. Using its claws, it wraps its prey, drags it to the bottom, and consumes it. The creature is described as incredibly strong, with the ability to drag a horse into the water. Despite its strength, there are claims of hunting methods involving nooses or throwing cactus chunks into the water, causing El Cuero to pierce itself.

Countless, albeit controversial, human attacks have been reported. In one account, a woman washing clothes by the lakeside claimed that El Cuero surged from the water like a crocodile, swiftly engulfing her sleeping baby. The creature then disappeared into the water as rapidly as it had emerged.

Authentic Chimichurri

Serving: 8

Ingredients

½ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

½ cup parsley finely chopped

3-4 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced

2 red chilies small, or 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon finely chopped chili)

¾ teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon coarse salt level

½ teaspoon pepper to taste (about ½ teaspoon)

Directions

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavours into the oil before using. Ideally, let it sit for more than 2 hours, if time allows.

Chimichurri can be prepared earlier than needed, and refrigerated for 24 hours, if needed.

Use to baste meats (chicken or steaks) while grilling or barbecuing. We don't use it as a marinade, but choose to baste our meats with chimichurri instead. However, you can use it as a marinade if you wish. Also, add a couple of tablespoons over your steak to serve.

Notes

Adjust the chimichurri to suit your tastebuds with more or less chili, salt and pepper!

Followers in or near Los Angeles, California:

Chilean post-punk trio Cadal is going to be performing here on November 7th at the Slipper Clutch, along with Spanish-language, US-based goth acts Velas Negras and Poderosa, and also Warsaw Pact who is also special in their own little way.

Cadal also going to perform in San Diego, California the next day and in various places in Mexico (and not just Mexico City either!) before and after, though I don't have the precise location information for those and I recommend following them on Instagram if you want to find out the specifics.

Vintage Peru Chrysocolla Stones & Silver Inca Tumi Faces Pierced Dangle Earrings

Striking and eye-catching, pre-Columbian Inca dangle earrings with Tumi warrior faces and Chrysocolla stone inlays. The pierced earrings have intricately designed, ancient, geometric symbols reminiscent of the Nazca geoglyphs that are believed to represent the path to spiritual enlightenment. From each earring dangles the face of ceremonial Tumi, the national symbol of Peru, which contains two small Chrysocolla stones inlays, a tiny one at the top of the post and a larger one in the center of the Tumi head.

Remarkable tribal artistry and design in this wonderful and attention grabbing, pair of pierced earrings. They are lightweight, have an undisturbed, natural patina, and display very beautifully to frame the face.
