#wangulen

In the mythology of the Mapuche people of South America, the Pillan are revered spirits. Uniformly male, they are benevolent by nature, but can cause droughts, plagues and earthquakes if they are displeased. Those Pillan that live on Earth are thought to make their homes in volcanoes.

The Mapuche people honour the Pillan with a ceremony known as "ngillatun," where they ask for the Pillans' blessings and thank them for their gifts.

Here goes a legend of my land. This was a pic done long time ago, I hope you like it :) ------------------------------------------ LET´S WIKIATTACK!! ------------------------------------------ Wangulen (of Mapudungun wangülen, "star"), also well-known like Huangulén or Huanguelen, is a type of feminine spirit present in Mythology mapuche . Wangulén is a type of benign spirit of Mapuches they are related closely to the human being mapuche; since one of them would have been chosen like the woman of the first ma. For this reason, also the woman mapuche as conclusion of its earthly life can manage to become a Wangulén; if while still alive and she followed the traditions and laws of Admapu, and had great descendants remembers that it and that honors its memory. (if he is man Pillán can get to become one ). As it says his name to it, to the Wangulén they are and it is related to them to stars. The first Wangulén, that would exist from before it appears life in mapu (earth).

At the outset the time did not exist and Wenumapu was dark. In that one place from Pu-a. that woke up, the old spirits originated themselves and among them they appeared the first Wangulén, to be the spouses of first pillanes. Thus between all the old spirits they managed to bring light to wenumapu, to the being they light beings.

Antu, pillán more powerful, went first in choosing a wife. Because wangulén is vain, product of its feminine nature, each hoped to be chosen like inandomo (favorite wife), of Antu. When seeing them all, wisely Antu chose to wangulén called Kuyén ; most beautiful between all of them. The rest of wangulén was disappointed and displeased; and so this election brought the envy of wangulén, and in this way the principle of the imbalance of wenumapu and the laws of Admapu . This, next to the rivalries between pillanes, brought about the great battle between old pillanes.

The battle was bloody and lasted long time, concluding with the triumph of Antu and its allies, that won to pillanes that pillanes and wangulén were also against to him and to the children of first, that when growing wished to overthrow their parents. After which Antu punished firstly to pillanes, when wanting Antu to punish to wangulén won in both fights, these were put to cry and to implorar their pardon, and cried as much, that their tears reached mapu (earth) and began to slide by mountains, until meeting in Great Lakes; and the tears that fell in the highest summits of mountains were transformed by the cold snows and ice ether to us. Even so Antu felt much rage. In this way, wangulén continued begging the pardon of Antu, and was so many their tears, that they managed to reach the western limits of mapu and there they formed a so great lake that does not have aim (the ocean). The wrath of Antu was so great, that wanted that its punishment was equally great; nevertheless, in the end it listened to the repentance of wangulén, and decided not to punish them terribly. Nevertheless, due to the attitude that they had Antu decided to extinguish great part of the light of wangulén, leaving only its Kuyén wife, with its original brightness.
