Aetherous Posted December 14, 2011 http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/12/the-ashaninka-a-threatened-way-of-life/100208/ I haven't read this article yet, but their face paint is very interesting, so I thought I'd share it here. Don't know if it has a specific purpose spiritually or energetically, as such patterns do in other cultures...but it seems to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rishi Das Posted December 14, 2011 Thanks for sharing Scotty, I enjoyed the read. Some really great pictures too! The face paint definitely looks to have a purpose spiritually or energetically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C T Posted December 14, 2011 Dont know either, but thanks all the same... enjoyed the insight and the pics very much. Some of the features of these people are so alike the Chinese - its fascinating! They have their own sacred ground called Eagle Canyon (see pic 11) - if you look at the rock formation on the right, the one just out from the shaded hollow beneath the trees, tell me if that does not look like an eagle with the eyes and beak so prominently etched out? If i were to glean some sort of tale from this, i'd say the eagle is looking protectively over its young (that small piece just below the eagle's beak). Looks like an ideally serene spot to spend a couple of weeks in retreat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
