Our “Sullu” is a posthumous journey, the path to the alax pacha. Where the earthly is left behind in pursuit of an unspoken promise of success; an unannounced end savored amidst dreams and the taste of cement. A journey to the cosmic.

Humans and guardian deities enter into an ayni (pact of reciprocity) through offerings, which obligates them to a mutual commitment to sustain life. Humans and gods establish a bond of reciprocity, implying the respective obligation to nourish one another and ensure mutual sustenance.

In this sense, the development of the agricultural cycle, health, success in productive endeavors, and the fight against affliction all depend on the active participation of the Aymara guardian deities, who are happy to collaborate whenever they are invited to "eat."

These sacred guests eat as humans do and can even consume humans when the ayni established between the parties is broken.

"Tables" and offerings follow one another in the food-based relationship that the Aymara establish with their guardian deities, in which sometimes humans become the offering, the ultimate offering.

Our “Sullu” is a posthumous journey, the path to the alax pacha. Where the earthly is left behind in pursuit of an unspoken promise of success; an unannounced end savored amidst dreams and the taste of cement. A journey to the cosmic.
