Short Story of the Month
Beware of Theology
“Even your grandfather, Chaplainix, as a proper Celt, knew that there are some threats to our existence,” said chieftain Conquiscadorix to the young field druid, with sorrow in his voice. “He also said that even if pagan fetishes are only pseudophillosophy, when we are on a visit, be it conquering or not, we must respect their traditions. Truth be told, he was one of those who pulled beards of Roman’s Elderly, but there was no danger there.”
Being of the Month
Mama Ocllo
Goddess of fertility and guardian of motherhood, co-founder of the Four Lands. Never heard of it?
You do. We call it the Inca Empire, after the title of its rulers. Mama Uqllu was the wife (and older sister) of the first Inca, Manco Cápac; both were descendants of Inti and Mama Killa (or Viracocha and Mama Qucha). Together with six other siblings, they emerged from the waters of Lake Titicaca, and, equipped with Inti’s golden staff, they searched for a suitable place where they—along with the people who joined them along the way—could settle.
