Female Breastplates of Colombia, plus at page bottom a link to an article on Female Divinities of South America. Along the coast of Surinam, the Cariña Caribs revere AmanĂĄ, a self-conceiving Mother whose essence is time. They say that she was never born, that she exists eternally. AmanĂĄ has borne all beings and can take any shape. She lives in the watery Pleiades in the form of a woman-serpent, renewing herself continually by sloughing off her skin. They call her a sun serpent, and another name for her is Wala Yumu, âspirit of the kinds.â She especially rules all water spirits. The Cariña call powerful rocks at the riversâ headwaters Mothers. Shamans commune with these beings and with AmanĂĄ for visions and healing. suppressedhistories.net/Gallery/colombia/breastplates.html
