The Andean Genesis began like this:
The Shadow Realm’s Genesis
Cosmic Order and the Separation
However, this love had to be fleeting, as the cosmic order of the sidereal space, Pachakhamak, would not allow any generation to exist in a state where the warmth of the sun and the melancholy of the moon disrupted, at the same time, the beings who would populate a future world.
This future world—Earth (Pachamama)—stands between the love of the sun and the moon, separating day and night in an existence where heat and cold, joy and sadness, life and death intertwine cyclically through time.
The sun, resigned to its separation from its beloved moon, seeks to resolve the absence of his love through fleeting romances that arise by chance in the randomness of life.
The moon, in her solitude, loves from afar, casting her light over the world in her absence. She cried and created the first and only andean deluge.
The tears are sheltered in the earth and generate the sacred lake of Titicaca. Many decades passed when the sun decided to end that solitude.
The Sun and the Moon’s Reunion
The moon, hurt, did not want to see him again, so she hid as early as possible, and the sun rose earlier each time. Over time, the moon lagged a few moments on the horizon, hopeful.
The sun had just risen to distribute his light selflessly. There, they met again, face to face in the universe. They managed to stop their journey for a few moments in an infinite embrace.
The Vital Force and the Andean Genesis
Our ancestors say that every time the images of the sun and the moon copulate in the sacred waters of the lake, the vital force (wira) is generated, which gave birth and today generates and consolidates our lives in the unfolding of the cyclical Andean Genesis.
