I'm from the Chiloe island, in Chile and although I see some flaws in some translations, I think that the Smithsonian Institution has explained with great respect a part of the mythology of Chiloé and the history of my people.

This almost reminds me of the voodoo cults of Hati. As for things like the Invunche, is it not possible that this group may have practiced some sort of body modification-a well known example of this would be cranial binding- on young children? Perhaps not in the way described above but enough so that it would inspire such tales like this. A very interesting and well written article. This almost reminds me of the voodoo cults of Hati.

"Bewitching!" Nothing like the rich history of peoples from planet Earth, who, however different we may be, have historically significant trends of mutual superstition and religious practices. Nice Write, Dr. Dash. Dare I say it?
“Bewitching!”

Nothing like the rich history of peoples from planet Earth, who, however different we may be, have historically significant trends of mutual superstition and religious practices.

Nice Write, Dr. Dash.
