Ritual in the Andes

The Escalon ado, shown in this weaving, represents the railway platform, a place prepared for sowing and harvesting abundantly. It is the one place that is used in preparation for the collection of fruit, and where rituals of Mother Earth’s blessings are invoked for her children (men). These rituals include music and special dancers that are shared with the land, offering the best that man gives for happiness.

Possessed by the Greater Spirit Condor

In the Andean culture represented in this exciting tapestry, Man asks to have happiness and peace instilled in his own spirit. The greater spirit, Condor (God of the world above) responds by creating an inner force that is manifested in Man’s dreams, arriving in the shape of swirls. The euphoria helps Man realize inner peace and contentment.
