Saudade

Saudade is the signature Hekau of the Intimallki.

Inti, the Lord Sun, is the supreme god and ancestor of the Inca. His magic is that of the wind, sky and the sacred names of things. The rites of Saudade invoke potent aspects of spirit, worship and sacrifice, as well as an underlying longing for renewal, regrowth and rebirth.
