Inti and Killa finished helping with the preparations. Many worrisome people waited outside the tent, wondering when we would start the Machitun. Sometimes when we performed the ceremony, people could sit in and witness the proceedings of the ritual, but this time there were too many people that wanted to be inside the hut. So it would only be the three of us and once it was over, I would announce to the tribe what we had seen.
Although they had only performed a Machitun three times, I let Inti and Killa join me. I figured any help would be greatly needed. As we had prepared everything, I prayed silently to myself that we would be gifted with answers. Extra prayer wouldn’t hurt, I knew, and since I believed that with more intention behind doing any task brought greater results, I made sure Inti and Killa did the same.
I could hear some of the tribe members outside the tent, talking about their fears of what could happen in the coming days. Rumors had spread throughout the neighboring tribes about the strangers being monsters, kidnapping some people to eat them in their far off land. Even though I didn’t quite believe that was true, I still feared what they might do to us.
I had been worrying for years now, my dreams adding to that worry. I had asked the spirit world for help many times, but I hadn’t heard any response. But this time I knew it would be different. After all, I still had hope. I had hope that the spirits would not let us down.
We were almost ready as Inti and Killa lit the remaining incense. Inti was a little bit older than Killa, with dark straight hair, a contrast to Killa’s curly hair. They both were fit, smart, and eager to learn. Killa was a little quicker at remembering things, which made Inti jealous at times, I could tell. They didn’t know, but sometimes I would hear them argue about it. I didn’t play favorites, and they both understood that. None of their fights lasted for more than ten minutes so I was never worried they would become adversaries.
As for now, they both prepared silently as I sat down on the mat. They both joined me and we each held hands, Killa on my right and Inti to my left.
I took a deep breath, letting the incense fill my body with calmness and direction. I needed to feel the connection with the earth, and with all the elements to guide my thoughts towards the spirit realm. It was difficult to clear one’s conscience, to let pure will guide them. It took years for me to train like this, but it was well worth it. I deeply wanted to help my tribe and nothing else mattered to me more than them. I held on to that fact, as I slowly let my breath out.
“Spirits of those who have passed into another world, those who used to be our friends, our family, our loved ones, we have come here to ask for your guidance.
