Kuna
earth and spirit wisdom
Most of the molas use one recurring pattern:
the image of the Labyrinth
Kuna Indians believe that human beings, the
exuberant tropical vegetation and the animals
areconstantly reunited through complex paths…
the interconnectedness of the Web of Life.
The
Kuna world vision consists of spiritual and
substance elements;
both are inseparable just as the spiritual
and the material are inseparable.
"The Earth and I are one and
so serve all."
Both are present in all rivers, oceans, mountains,
hills, forests, and rocks.
It
is for this reason that the sacred places, called
"Galus", are strictly respected as
the specific homes of spirits, which may be
found at any place.
There is a Galu for every being: for snakes,
for crocodiles, jaguars, birds, etc.
This
world vision is part of the essential orientation
in "Nabguana" or Mother Earth.
