edit: my sincere thanks to @ayachaska for the helpful feedback!
Quariwarmi is typically spelled this way when translated, but our languages don’t use the QU sound. Some people spell it qhariwarmi, and there are variations, I use qariwarmi.
Qariwarmi + Tinkuy Flag
please DO NOT USE MY DESIGN TO FURTHER YOUR PRODUCTS IF YOU ARE NOT QARIWARMI URSELF. ahem,
I have designed this one in the vein of a sunrise, or a dawn. As qariwarmi were historically entrusted with bringing about the dawning of new days, and with it, the watering of fields. It could be likened to the Paqari / dawn version of a flag.
EDIT: This was made possible with input from fellow qariwarmi people. Thank you, paylla!!!
It follows a tricolor pattern: sky blue, sunny yellow, and a peachy orange shade. They represent Hanaq Pacha , Kay Pacha, and Uku Pacha.
Symmetrical symbols as follows,
ONE : CHAKANA , gray to black in the center.
TWO : CONDOR FEATHERS , representing the messenger of the heavens.
THREE: EYES OF THE GREAT CHUQUI CHINCHAY , shining down from that liminal dwelling within kay pacha. it’s eyes are silver with copper pupils and gold stars twinkling, a nod to Chuqui Chinchay’s multi-gendered nature.
FOUR : THE WRITHING MACH’AQWAY based off watapuñuq (the boa), dweller of uku pacha and subterranean land.
It is an identity spanning from the convergence of two rivers, the Mosna and the Huanchesca at the sacred site known today as Chavín de Huantar / Chawpin Wantar.
I really don’t feel the need to explain the complexities with this identity, but you should know that it is an identity that originated within the Quechua language, and belongs to people in the Andes who are native to the region. However, it is not just a Quechua identity and has applications for other language speaking groups as long as they are in the Andes.
Tinkuy people, this is yours to use as well, just y’know credit me, pretty please.
i made a sigil celebrating and amplifying trans individuals during a time transphobia is rampant and can be hard to escape mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically. use this to ground and give love back to yourself. we are still here. we are of the dawn and dusk.
personal use only (feel free to hmu with q's on usage)
¡Oh my love! No puedes imaginar cuanto tiempo he esperado este momento, por cuanto tiempo he estado sumergida en la soledad, pensando que terminaría acostumbrándome a ella, convirtiéndola en mi hogar y mi fiel acompañante, quizás en mi única amante.
¿Dime por qué? ¿Por qué has demorado en llegar a mi? ¿Por qué he tenido que esperar por tanto tiempo?
¿Acaso temías el venir a mi rescate? ¿Temías que te rechazará? ¿Qué me negaría a abandonar la comodidad de esa soledad? Pues te has equivocado, con unas palabras hubiera abandonado esa soledad sin ninguna dificultad y poco arrepentimiento.
¿O será que te habías perdido? Divagando y perdiéndote en los caminos de un bosque musical, donde cada melodía es una canción de dos a completar; de ser así has demorado mucho en reconocer nuestra melodía.
Con todo su amor,
A.M.A.
P.D.: Pero al menos al fin me has encontrado, has descubierto el camino correcto hasta mi como en esos libros que adoro leer, donde el asesino es el mayordomo, obvio.
