“The sacrifice to Supay, called k’araku falls on August, where a camelid (llama or alpaca) is sacrificed. In the version attended by June Nash in 1970, two llamas were slaughtered, the yatiri, pronounced prayers for safety over the blood caught in the basin, and buried the hearts.”

“Supay is commonly described as having a “demonic” appearance, with long horns, glassy, starry eyes, a feline face with long fangs, and long ears.
