Coca Leaf Reading Ceremony

The Apus are guardian spirits of the mountains who have watched over the welfare of their people, animals and farmlands. According to the Andean cosmovision, the Apus were, are and will be divine entities, allies of the inhabitants who nowadays still ask for help any time. The coca leaves reading has no specific time or place, the Shaman usually makes the coca leaves reading in the sacred valley after other workshops like San Pedro Session, offering to mother earth, etc. Since very ancient times the coca leaves were very important, they were used as medicine, natural energizer, anesthetic, etc. The coca leaves are in a bundle, before opening the blanket, the Shaman calls to the Oracle (the coca leaves spirit) and the Apus to be present and give us comic messages. When the Shaman is doing the coca leaves reading he can see the Past, the present and the future situation of the person who is asking the Oracle by the shape, color, distribution of the Coca leaves. Then the person can ask for more question or deepen into any aspect of their lives.
