PARIACACA
Huarochirí Hero God
Also known as Paricaca
Ancient Warrior Hero God
He is mentioned in the Huarochirí Manuscript, a precious document detailing the indigenous mythology of the people of the Western Andes who lived under the Incas.
Born from five eggs on a mountaintop, he is a five-in-one Hero God who spends most of his time engaged in conflict with Huallallo the Fire God.
Sizzle vs Drizzle. Splash vs Flash. Swoosh, whoosh, burning fogs and cats and dogs — and the winner was Water!
When you’re under the weather it’s only fair to blame the Gods. But watch out, as Pariacaca can assume the form of a falcon and his talons are twitching.
According to one legend, he destroyed an entire village in his quest to beat Huallallo and only saved one girl who happened to offer him a drink. The moral of this story is clear.
