Wayrunkuna Carved Andean Divination Dice - Q’ero Shamanic Sacred Divination Tool

The Wayrunkuna Carved Andean Divination Dice is a traditional Q’ero shamanic divination tool used in Andean spiritual practice to read energetic fields, set ceremonial intention, and seek guidance.

In Quechua, “Wayru” means cube, referring to these sacred dice carved from alabaster (huamanga). Unlike numerical dice, Wayrunkuna feature six potent symbols from the Inka energy tradition, each representing cosmic principles rather than fixed outcomes.

Used by Q’ero shamans (paqos) in ceremony and ritual, these dice help shape the energetic tone of a space and support communication with Pachamama (Mother Earth), the Apus (mountain spirits), and ancestral lineages.

Each piece is hand-carved and supplied in a traditional Andean woven bag, accompanied by llama wool as a blessing.

About the Wayrunkuna

Wayrunkuna are sacred Andean divination dice used not to predict fixed futures, but to read, influence, and orient energetic fields.

Rather than numbers, each face of the cube is carved with symbolic imagery connected to:

  • Stars
  • Wisdom
  • The Moon
  • Unity and cosmic connection

These symbols relate to the elements, the nurturing of the land, the cycles of planting and harvest, and the unfolding of life within the Andean worldview.

When cast, placed, or paired with sacred textiles, the Wayrunkuna reveals patterns, tendencies, and energetic relationships, helping the practitioner understand what is moving into form.

Symbolism & Meaning (Traditional Belief)

  • Stars – Guidance, destiny, higher awareness
  • Moon – Cycles, intuition, unity
  • Wisdom – Ancestral knowledge, lineage memory
  • Fields & Elements – Nurturing, feeding, cultivating life
  • Unity – The weaving together of cosmic and earthly forces

In Andean tradition, patterns are understood as the forces that plough existence into being — the Wayrunkuna speaks through these patterns.
