What is that egg into the mesa Kallawaya? It is the traditional offering to the spirit of the wind, take charge of the smoke of incense and the mesa for the drive to the places sacred adequate. Basically, the main function of Ankara is to serve as carrier offerings and messenger. I'll defer to my friend Don Victor Bustillos, the prestigious Ina Rösing Kallawaya which has spent many pages describing the ritual procedures. I accompany his speeches in Quechua portrait of a smiling the master, who has always shown extreme patience to answer my questions. Don Victor is a faithful companion of my compadre, the maestro Grover, they all praise the same consulting firm in La Paz.

We call the wind Ankara. The Ankara is the servant, the messenger, he wins, he takes care to collect donations. It serves, like when we hire a horse, that's how the Ankara.

Il y a un bon Ankari et un mauvais Ankari. L'Ankari mauvais est colérique, à ce qu'on dit. Il est comme les gens en colère. Il peut aller jusqu'à faire sortir une maison de ses fondations. Il faut lui offrir un oeuf. "Sois patient, ferme ta porte", lui disons-nous en présentant l'offrande. Nous pouvons lui donner un oeuf, et alors la situation s'améliore quickly. While we make him an offering, we defend ourselves with a prayer: "Ankara", that's how it was for him, and we blow with coca in his direction, and that's all, then it subsides.

must offer him an egg. That's why the chicken has always laid eggs for the wind. The hen must belong to the sphere of wind. There are many Ankara, they are probably countless. Whatever the place where is a sacred place, an Ankara is associated with the wind. That way, it is he who carries it.

When we prepare a mesa, we can offer something for Ankara. While Ankara blast to all cabildos (or Juncher . This the scene of the fire throughout the region, where they burn Kallawaya mesas ) as an agent, as a comissionnaire, to all holy places it away. It is responsible for ensuring that this happens in designated areas. We burn the offerings in one place. Ankara then arranges for distribution to other locations. That's Ankara. There is only one. It does not belong to the sphere of evil, no, it belongs rather to the sphere of the property. When we catch a disease, very often we say it is because of the wind. But it is another thing. It has nothing to do with the wind.

compétent Ankari est pour les bonnes choses pour les mauvaises et, pour les deux. Mauvais Il Ankari there, we pachaje Ankari (le démon Ankari), il glory there will Ankari (relié au monde from above), the cabildo Ankara (unique to the place where they officiated), and we invoke all these Ankara. With the smells, the smoke, Ankara wins, he is the messenger. We offer a libation in Ankara ( ch'alla ) with alcohol and we feed it with an egg. It also delivers what we have prepared for the bad places. Regardless of the amount of our offering, it is always the messenger carrying the gifts. They are left at the place designated by the invocation. For example, when we invoke the summit of Illimani, he managed a nod to Illimani. "Look, this is the offering that they have prepared for you, "then said the Ankara is" the cabildo who sends you, "he said. The servant Ankara fulfills its duty as a prosecutor.
As seen, the meaning and according to the Ankara are very specific in the worldview of Kallawaya. It may seem contradictory to say that Don Victor both that Ankara is unique, then asserts that there are many Ankara. What is unique to the maestro is the principle of Ankara, the wind as a messenger. But what is multiple, it is the many functions and locations of the wind, so there are multiple Ankara, each and every sacred place cabildo where prepared with the offerings available a particular Ankara. The Ankara is a challenge for anthropologists querying the history of ancient and nebulous Kallawaya. Thierry Saignes note that Ankara is a specificity of Kallawaya confirming his thesis of an original cultural Puquina island, near Lake Titicaca, which have gradually given birth, because of its isolation and its move to the province Bautista Saavedra, Kallawaya culture. In support of this thesis, one can notice that linguists have largely shown that the secret language of Kallawaya the Machaj Juyai , consisted of a grammar of Quechua inspired and a glossary with many borrowing the language Puquina. Ina Rösing disagrees with Saignes about purely Kallawaya of Ankara. She claims to have found traces of this wind messenger in other Andean indigenous cultures. Nevertheless, the indices of a non-mystical Kallawaya of Ankara are unimpressive. Still, the very specific role assigned to Ankara in the ritual Kallawaya is exceptional. It is not a god, as is the case of Tata Huayra , the god of wind in the Aymara mythology that plays no role in messenger offerings. It is not an ancestor or Machula , as is the case with many sacred mountains of the Andes, including the famous Akamani of Kallawaya. It's just a spirit in the central Kallawaya worldview, playing a ritual role defined and decisive.
On several occasions during the celebration of the rituals of cabildo Icallurin Kallawaya belonging to my family, or even on my own cabildo of Khjesasan, I saw how the wind is invoked to Other cases that carry an offering to sacred places. Then it threatened to rain and that could jeopardize the quality of the burnt offering, it happened that one should ask Ankara to blow the clouds, by the gestures and prayers. The same principle is at work on time to invoke the rain, ritual, among Kallawaya, named after paraman Purina. To do the Kallawaya do not invoke a deity of rain, but turn to the Pachamama, in Ankara, and the trinity presiding lightning, lightning and thunder. The Kallawaya are the source of the wind in the deep caves and rock cavities. So they go first in some of these places, make offerings and attach the necessary Ankara so that it blows over, so that Clouds can build up. Then they go to a sacred lake, dance and make offerings, before throwing stones into the lake with their slings to muddy the waters. They ascend to heaven and then cause the rain.
Being currently on the other side of the ocean and away from sacred places Kallawaya, I make all the offerings here are made by Ankara to places in South America that I mean when my rituals . Sometimes I also use the services of Ankara to operate remotely. Recently, by using the Ankara I've done a soul retrieval for a patient unable to move. This kind of operation distance calls, however, a great sensitivity on the part of the patient and Kallawaya always prefer to be in the presence of their care, even if it means long and perilous journey for that. I knew I could be effective for my patient when he told me on the phone, when I had already started working on him, he had dreamed of me in the night and I asked her to bite into a fruit during a ritual. However, this patient did not know that indeed, during a soul retrieval done visually the Kallawaya ask the patient to eat a fruit they ritually prepared.

Mesa blanca. One tip suggested by Don Victor Bustillos to adapt mesa the problem of prohibition in France of the coca leaf. It replaces the leaves of the circumference by sheets of white oak and it compensates for the lack of coca by placing the center of the mesa two seeds of coca, since each is equivalent to one pound of leaves.
Two ingredients indispensable to the traditional mesa. Small red and black seeds or huayruros , best known in the West as the beans are lucky and tiny lead figurines or Chiuch recado, defined by some as a hieroglyphic script Kallawaya.
