Today is the #SummerSolstice in the northern hemisphere, but it’s the #WinterSolstice in the southern hemisphere. The Winter Solstice celebrations were called Inti Rayi (Sun Festival) by the Incas. 🌞 The Spanish outlawed Inti Raymi but it was revived again in the 20th century. #intiraymi #IntrepidDudettes #incas https://www.instagram.com/p/CQYJHXCLFbH/?utm_medium=tumblr

🔵Since today is #worldoceansday, 🌎 I thought I’d share some information about the Inca goddess of the seas: Mama Cocha. The Incas lived in some very hostile places. Those living in coastal areas loved a good ol’ prayer to Mama Cocha to keep them safe from things like tidal waves and to ensure they caught lots of fish.🐟🐟 But, worshipping this goddess wasn’t just for survival. The Incas viewed all rivers, streams, lakes and the sea as sacred, because water is essential for life. If we all thought of water as holy, I’m sure the oceans would be better taken care of! 🔵 #incaempire #intrepiddudettes #southamerica https://www.instagram.com/p/CP2bRXjLVPL/?utm_medium=tumblr
