…And on a bicentennial July 27th, we woke in La Paz and El Alto covered with a white mantle, after the Goddess of Thunder shook earth and sky, and her Three Sons of Lightning opened cracks in numbness…  Thawing had arrived…

…There might have been smiles when eyes were opened among those who went in search of transformation unto Tata Bombori; answer didn’t take long sealing the encounter with snow purifying it all…

• Once, among us named was Lightning as Illapa and, after the conquest Apostle Santiago (St. James), to whom Catholics commemorate on July 26 and their gospel recognizes him as ‘Son of Thunder’.
• Don Wilson García Mérida said it already: “Thunder and rain ‘huacas’ (sacred vortex) would be venerated under the shape of Tata Santiago and all mothers of fertility would be venerated in the cult of Virgin Mary”; referring to how Andean people preserved their ways under Catholic names.
• And also as Tata Bombori are known the three Santiagos, to whom many pilgrims visit for this date in order to die and reborn transformed; he is visited in many towns around here, most heard of are Bombori, Guaqui y Quime.
• To him answer ‘The Children of Lightning’ – people living among us and working silently after they received the call in dreams or were touched by Lightning – that perform that mission. Some very subtly offer their prayers to walkers they consider deserve to receive the protection of those powers. Did you find any?
  

…A winter snow coul be just a snow, but in these highlands of La Paz and El Alto at the bottom of the Cordillera, when snow slides down unto us… unseen worlds speak louder than this one…

…And this snow came early to humidify the soil soon to be fertilized. And came also in times of major plans of triple waves swaying us…

..the new year found us celebrating the libertarian outcry, among thunders and lightnings, among Venus and Mars which still walk me since the night we received July 16 2009… that night…

…we revived among us the libertarian flame two hundred years later, at  Mars Battlefield (Plaza Villarroel), under clouded sky that moments before midnight opened a vein in the middle revealing Venus with magical brightness, making the earth vibrate with our voices and into heavens sending multicolored fires for the honor seats: Goddess of Thunder and Lords of Lightning, generators of our life in the highlands…

…There we were… close to the entrails of Nuestra Señora de La Paz, hunging from the folds of her hills at the bottom of her snowed mountains, in the air… flavour of life restituted saluting of July the great day…

…in the presence of Venus and Mars that extended the night until the day of ‘La Bolivia’… August 6, 2009… then, both were to preside the last of three eclipses that empowered celebrations…

…so we were, so we shall be in their consequences… under the powerful plans of three ladies, three potencies and three eclipses* that danced us the libertarian outcry until becoming the forgotten history… and beyond…
