Shamanic Trilogy of the Three Worlds 10cm – Large Altar Symbol (Serpent, Jaguar, Condor)

Andean Cosmology • Mesa Centrepiece • Sacred Three Worlds Union

This larger ceremonial version of the Shamanic Trilogy of the Three Worlds carries a stronger physical presence while embodying the same sacred cosmology of the Q’ero shamans of the Peruvian Andes.

The Serpent, Jaguar, and Condor are united in one sculptural form, representing the three great realms of existence — the Lower World, Middle World, and Upper World. This expanded 10cm version offers greater weight, grounding, and altar impact, making it ideal as a central mesa anchor or main shrine piece.

In Andean wisdom, life is lived between Earth and Sky. This figurine is a reminder that transformation requires grounding, courage, and vision — all working together.

The Three Worlds in Andean Cosmology

Serpent – Uku Pacha (Lower World)

The Serpent represents Pachamama, the Earth, instinct, and renewal.
It symbolises grounding, primal wisdom, and the shedding of what no longer serves. It is the energy of transformation through release.

Jaguar (Puma) – Kay Pacha (Middle World)

The Jaguar embodies power, courage, and presence in the human world.
It is the force that walks fearlessly between light and shadow, teaching integrity and strength.

Condor – Hanaq Pacha (Upper World)

The Condor represents destiny, higher consciousness, and spiritual vision.
Flying high above the Andes, it symbolises perspective, guidance, and connection to divine intelligence.

Together, they form a sacred trilogy of:

  • Earth & Instinct

  • Embodiment & Power

  • Spirit & Destiny

About:

A Stronger Altar Presence

At 10cm, this larger version carries more visual and energetic weight. It is particularly suited for:

  • Main altar centre placement
  • Ceremony tables
  • Ritual circle focal points
  • Teaching spaces
  • Spiritual practice rooms

Its scale allows the details of each animal to be more pronounced, making it a powerful visual teaching tool for those working with Andean cosmology.

Use in Mesa & Ritual Practice

Within Q’ero tradition, sacred objects are placed in mesas — ceremonial cloth bundles representing the universe in miniature.

This larger Trilogy piece may be used:

  • As the primary cosmological anchor of a mesa
  • During despacho offerings to Pachamama
  • In rites of passage and initiation work
  • For balance and integration rituals
  • As a symbol of alignment between lower, middle, and upper worlds

Each animal assists in spiritual navigation:

  • The Serpent releases and renews
  • The Jaguar protects and empowers
  • The Condor elevates and clarifies

Symbolic Meaning

This figurine embodies:

  • Transformation (Serpent)
  • Courage (Jaguar)
  • Vision (Condor)
  • Past, Present, Future
  • Body, Heart, Spirit
  • Lower, Middle, Upper Worlds

It is a map of human evolution and a reminder that balance is achieved through integration, not separation.

Cultural & Lineage Context

The Q’ero people are regarded as the living carriers of Inca spiritual knowledge. Their cosmology teaches relationship — between humans and nature, spirit and matter, Earth and Sky.

The Trilogy is central to this worldview and reflects a philosophy of:

  • Reciprocity (Ayni)
  • Sacred relationship
  • Energetic balance
  • Personal responsibility

This piece honours that lineage.
