Goddess Pachamama

 



Pachamama, also known as Mamapacha: Incan deity of the ground.

When mankind fails to revere Pachamama, an earth and agricultural goddess, she brings earthquakes.

She is shown as a dragon sleeping under the Peruvian mountains, supplying the earth with the nutrients it needs to exist.

She is given cornmeal on a regular basis to guarantee that her people have enough food and water.

She worships llamas and guinea pigs.

Goddess Papatuanuku

 


Maori Earth Mother, Papatuanuku.

Papatuanuku is revered by the Maori of New Zealand as the mother of humans, animals, and forests.

She provides nourishment for the planet, and in return, parents pledge their children's fealty to her.

Papatuanuku's rage generates earthquakes when she is forcefully taken from her lover Rangi Nui.
