Mama Killa

The "Moon Mother" and the silver-scaled protectress of the night, she is the wife of Inti and the guardian of the female cycles and the passage of time. She is often seen weeping tears of silver that fall to the earth as precious metal, a melancholic beauty who regulates the tides and the festivals of the Inca calendar. She represents the cooling grace that follows the fire of the day, the gentle eye that watches over the sleepers and the dreamers. She is the goddess of the loom and the silver thread that binds the stars together.
