Gaulichu

By Crusader1307

The Mapuche Tribes of South America, have a mythology which involves The ''Gaulichu''. These were said to be seen as both Demons from The Afterlife and in some respects – The Devil. The Entities could possess both Human and inanimate objects, often needing exorcism by Tribal Shaman. Gualichu is seldom portrayed in Tribal Art, for fear of conjuring Him. When something ''goes wrong'' within The Tribal Community, it is seen as being ''Gualichu'' – or ''jinxed''.
