Coca Leaf Reading
Get clarity and guidance by tapping into the profound oracle of the coca leaves. For millennia, the spirit of Mama Coca and the Apus have served as powerful allies, offering insights and direction in both everyday decisions and significant life events.
The Reading: Before the reading begins, the shaman invokes the guidance of the spirits of the land, ensuring that the leaves fall in a manner that accurately guides the reading. After three deep breaths, the shaman drops the leaves, interpreting their arrangement to address any inquiries you may have. From matters of love and family to healing processes, work decisions, and spiritual paths, the possibilities are limitless. Think big and be generous with yourself.
Historical Significance: In Peru, the coca leaf holds a rich history, revered by many as much as gold. The Incas valued coca for its medicinal properties and integral role in sacred ceremonies. Cultivated in South America for nearly 8,000 years, the coca leaf holds deep cultural significance. Legend tells of Kuka, a beautiful woman whose sacrifice gave rise to the miraculous coca plant, honoring her legacy and importance in Inca culture.
Cultural Practice: Today, coca leaves are known for their ability to relieve altitude sickness among tourists, while locals incorporate them into various aspects of daily life. Whether chewed or brewed into tea, coca leaves play a vital role in celebrations, ceremonies, and religious practices. Traces of coca leaves have been found in ancient mummies, underscoring their enduring cultural significance.
The Tradition Continues: Andean inhabitants carry on the tradition of coca leaf readings, offering unique insights into their culture. Masters of the ceremony pass down this skill from generation to generation, ensuring its preservation for the future.
