Mama Cocha

A specialized manifestation of the water-mother, she is the goddess of the lakes and the high Andean springs that feed the irrigation canals of the empire. She is the spirit of Lake Titicaca, the sacred womb of the Inca race, where the waters are as still as a mirror and as deep as the history of the land. She represents the tranquility of the standing water and the life-giving flow that connects the peaks to the valleys. She is the lady of the reflection, the one who shows us the truth of our own faces in the water.
