Kúwai, Venezuelan Folklore X


Kúwai

In the hiwi aborigine tradition, he was the God creator of the world and men. To create the first man he used mud, but the rain undid him, in a second attempt he used beeswax, but the sun melted him, the third and last attempt he made of wood. The reproduction of the Hiwi was thanks to a mouse that made their sexes differentiated.

Kuai-mare He was the principal God of the Waraos. His name means "The Happy Who Lives Above". He is black, long hair, big eyes, long ears, so much that one reaches the east and another to the west, and the tendrils that he uses shine like gold and silver. His clothing is a fine tunic that floats in the air producing the breeze that shakes the water of the rivers. When walking produces earth movements. He is the creator of good spirits and bad spirits.
