The Kogi and Namaku

The Kogi people are the indigenous culture present in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta since pre-Columbian times. The word Kogi means jaguar in their language. They believe in "Aluna" or "The Great Mother," the force behind nature.

Námaku being the youngest Jaguar in the myth of creation, refers both to the shaman that could transform into a Jaguar, and the jaguar spirit that enables it. The tale explores the knowledge of self, the battle with destiny, passion, rebellion and anguish.

It describes the eternal battle between good and evil that powers human history. Jaguars are associated with the powers of shamans, masters of the sacred, with esoteric knowledge about health and sickness; to connect with the force of life.

El jaguar se encuentra asociado con las actividades de los chamanes, especialistas de lo sagrado, poseedores de un saber esotérico relativo a la salud y la enfermedad y al manejo de las energías y poderes que rigen el cosmos y que definen la vida y la muerte.
