Let´s start with Pachamama. What is this word?

It comes from de Quechua language; Pacha translates to “world” or “Earth”, while mama means “mother”. Mixing these words are the equivalent to a particularly important significance to a lot of Latin American cultures meaning, Mother Earth.

It´s not only the planet (the terrestrial sphere), it embraces so much more. It´s nature that is always in permanent contact with us, with whom it interacts through various spiritual rituals.

Pachamama protects people through its energy and it allows us to live thanks to everything that provides us with, such as water, food, materials, etc. This is the reason why people must take care of the Pachamama and pay her a fair tribute.

In ancient times animals and people were sacrificed in its honor; Now a days celebrations are different according to the region or culture, their offerings can be cigarette smoke, alcohol, coca leaves and even food can be buried as an offering, finishing the ritual with a dance of the whole the community representing the spirit of brotherhood that take place in front of the elder.

In exchange of this, the Pachamama gives the community good harvest, favorable weather conditions and so much more.

One of the initiatives of various indigenous groups for many years has been the production of different artisan crafts to sell to different people of the world, like this the people that buy these products receive the energy of Pachamama in the crafts.

By acquiring our products, you will be able to help our craftsmen and the community that works with Pachamama.
