Pictures of 'Incan mummies' frequently surface on the Internet. One appeared in my Facebook newsfeed today. Their features are well preserved and it is easy to imagine what they might have looked like when alive. Who were they? What did they dream about? What did they hope for? What made them feel humor or sadness? What manifestation of person was this?
I don't see that their bodies were treated badly. But one, for example, was locked in storage at a museum for a century: They seem not to have a spiritual safe harbor.
I will try to be their spiritual safe harbor today.
Prayer said and offering made to whatever god there be, whether Incan proper, or god of a neighboring ethnic group, whether male or female, that they may have peace, comfort, and rest. If not, or if the prayer was not heard, then the same prayer to Mother Vesta.
Without realizing it, I made a very appropriate offering: four squares of chocolate. The cacao tree is said to have originated in the Andes.
