Cosmic Anaconda

Shipibo · deity · primordial · deity

Shipibo-Conibo (Ucayali, Peru). English 'Cosmic Anaconda' leads; the Shipibo term is Ronin (also Rono, 'boa/snake'). A spirit-class water-being treated here as a primordial deity per the schema rule that spirit-classes map to deity/demigod. The Shipibo cosmos is layered into worlds (Nete): Jene Nete (the water-world, Ronin's realm), Non Nete (our world), Pashin Nete (the yellow world) and Jakon Nete (the celestial good-world of the sun and the Inka). Sex follows the consistent feminine, maternal characterization.
