Many of the special garments reserved for the emperor and his family were woven in the temples by the akllas.

Each morning in Cusco one llama was sacrificed by cutting its throat, while keeping its head turned towards the sun, to which it was being offered. The animal was then burned in a special brazier. AKP During the Inti Raymi, there was a compulsory participation of priests in the ceremony of augury by sacrificing a llama.

lloq'e nacuy: Described as "getting rid of bad witchcraft" by the indigenous people. In the west, Américo [Yabar] tells us, it is equivalent to getting rid of our neuroses and depression. The magic of lloq'e nacuy uses threads to represent filaments of light. The healer's work is to connect a person's filaments with the light of the stars (hanaqpacha). As filaments of a person's heavy energy -- pain, sadness, depression, envy -- are cut away, the filaments of her etheric body and those of Pachamama rise up and mingle with the filaments of the stars, creating feelings of being cleansed, energized, peaceful, filled, and rejuvenated.
