Wak'as, diablos y muertos

About this book

This work highlights the relevance, as well as the concept of 'fluidity' of most of the entities and the otherworldly beings that interact with the local Andean population. These beings are separated into three categories (w'akas, devils and the dead). Most of the texts intended to explain the multiple faces and ontologies of these different beings, to try to know why they also have this feature of "fluidity". "The universe of these beings is multi-faceted, dynamic and changing, since they are formations that mutate in continuous displacement, overlays, and substitutions." (HKB Translation)-Page 12.
