Pachamama: The Great Mother Spirit of the Earth by Adolfo Ttito Condori

Pachamama is a feminine spirit that governs the universe.  They are different tribes, different areas, and different animals, which are called Pachamama Kuma. Pachamama is the over-seeing spirit, the primary feminine spirit of the earth.  The Pachamama Kumas are the subset of the feminine spirits in places of the earth.  Pachamama, is the big over-lighting feminine spirit that watches over the Pachamama Kuma.  There are feminine places on the land that have their own spirit, and these would be a Pachamama Kuma, or a Pachamamita, or Santa Tierra, which means “Saint of the Earth.”  For example, if you want to invoke universally, you would say Pachamama Kuma or Pachamamas. Pachamama is general.  It is the big over lighting spirit.

So as we are planting seeds, we are doing something good – and that shows that we have a good heart.  It is not about giving lots of money or things.  It is what you have at the moment, what you feel is right.  That is showing compassion and love.  You are feeling this.  So be very careful with the Pachamama.  She is watching all of your actions. It is true.  That is the way it is.  There have been some times when I have forgotten this. I have too many things.  My mind is busy and I have been distracted doing things. There is always a time when we find ourselves distracted.  So at the beginning of the path, there tends to be lots and lots of distractions.  However, as we, as we do this work, the distractions become smaller and smaller.

Pachamama is in all places.  She does many deeds, gives us many gifts, many blessings as well. She gives us our clothing because she takes care of the animals.  She gives us water because through her comes the water and all the spiritual elements are connected to the waters too. Pachamama is all things.  She is always behind us protecting us, taking care of us. She is sad or preoccupied at times because of the contamination we have created, because of the disasters that are happening in the world.  These disasters are a result of the contamination.  That is because for every period of time, purification is important.  So that is why we say lightning is part of purification, the storms and lightning is part of her spirit – so soft and pure.  She is always clean.

What is contaminating Pachamama?  Her cape is what is getting the contamination – a part of her physical body, energetic body.  Spiritually, the Pachamama is always; always strong.  She does not need to change.  She does not need to be cleaned.  So humanity is contaminating the house of the Pachamama and we ourselves can clean that bit-by-bit, taking care of the earth and cleaning the natural world or universe. Showing our brothers and sisters how to do that as well, – how to take care of the natural world.  So in other places of the world there is always emphasis on taking care of the Pachamama.   (Conversation, 2012).
