Por @noregmcb
En las riberas del río Orinoco hacen vida varias etnias indígenas, entre ellas se encuentran los Los Yanomamis, Los Piaroas, Los Yekuanas y los Waraos. Hubo una época donde se produjo escases de los productos principales que originaba la caza y la pesca, las tierras se tornaron infértiles. Dicho evento fue el escenario para que se reunieran los jefes y chamanes de las diferentes etnias para discutir el problema que estaban presentando. Solo contaban con los animales que poseían cada etnia en sus asentamientos pero esto no era el necesario para mantenerse.
Moon: The Serpent of the Orinoco River. A love story.
Several indigenous ethnic groups live on the banks of the Orinoco River, among them are the Yanomamis, Los Piaroas, Los Yekuanas and the Waraos. There was a time when there were shortages of the main products that hunting and fishing originated, the lands became infertile. This event was the setting for the chiefs and shamans of the different ethnic groups to meet to discuss the problem they were presenting. They only had the animals that each ethnic group had in their settlements, but this was not the one necessary to maintain themselves.
The meeting was planned to be held in the Waraos settlement; Warao emissaries were sent to the different tribes that made life in the vicinity of the Orinoco River. When the day of the meeting arrived, the chiefs of each tribe were arriving. In the big events that took place in the indigenous ethnic groups, women were not allowed to act; They only took care of the work of planting, cooking and the main care of the children of the tribe.
The leader of the Waraos had only one daughter named Luna, he did not have an heir who will choose to be his successor. For this reason her daughter had to marry a Warao to keep the tribe alive. On the day of the meeting, the leader's daughter returned from work in the fields with the rest of the women, they brought with them some goats that they had brought to feed the herd; One of the goats escaped and the son of the Yanomami chief came out to catch him. After he captured the animal, he gave it to the young woman, leaving these two young people arrowed by love. A young Warao who was among the suitors of the chief's daughter came out along with the young Yanomami but could not catch the animal.
After the meeting, all the chiefs and the rest of the attendees took their way to their different settlements. The girl looking at the Moon thought that she would never see that young man again. One day while in the field, he heard the song of a bird and decided to go to see if he could catch it. When he was going through the jungle bushes, the Yanomami boy was introduced to him, he was emitting those sounds to get the girl's attention. When he saw her, he handed her some flowers and left. He promised that he would keep coming back to that place just to see her. The excited young woman returned to the conuco along with the other women. He told those that he had found these beautiful flowers and decided to collect them to take them to the altar.
And so the days passed, everything returned to normal, the rains returned and everything turned green. The youths continued to be seen in the jungle near the Orinoco River. One day a group of Warao were returning from hunting and they ran into the young Yanomami. He explained to the group of Warao that he was hunting and had become disoriented and made a mistake. The Waraos were not happy with the answer that young Yanomami had given them. They told the Chief of the Waraos what had happened and he commissioned two young men to secretly monitor the vicinity of the settlement.
The young lovers decided to stop seeing each other for several days. One day they planned to escape. Everything seemed to have gone as planned by the young Yanomami, they did not count on the Warao Leader having sent to watch the vicinity of the settlement. They were discovered getting into a canoe that the young Yanomami had left on the banks of the river. The girl's father was notified and approached the place where they took another canoe and went after the young men. Luna, noticing that they were being followed, decided to jump out of the canoe, telling the young Yanomami to follow the course in the river. Luna, when she jumped out of the canoe, hit her head with a stone and lost consciousness, they stopped following the young Yanomami and took the girl out of the river but Luna did not survive and died on the riverbank in her father's arms.
Those days were sad in the tribe, the Warao chief sent a group to the Yanomami camp for the boy but he had disappeared since that day. The Yanomami boy, upon learning of the death of his beloved, climbed at night to the stone in the middle of the river and took his own life. The girl was thrown into the river in a canoe and burned; that was the ritual to be followed.
The ancient ancestors say that Luna became the snake that inhabits the Orinoco River, it is said that she is wrapped in the middle stone taking care of the sacred place where her loved one gave his life for her. The stone has never been able to be surpassed by the level of the water; many say that she raises the stone so that no one will forget her love story. A pure love that the difference of races could not separate. Many villagers say that they have seen a young indigenous man who comes out of the river and transforms into a wolf, walks the entire edge of the river and returns before dawn to the arms of his beloved Moon. The sighted snake has two heads, one representing the Yanomami and the other the Warao ethnic group.
Los chamanes mantienen una distinción marcada entre el concepto de: “nosotros los warao” ocowarao y “ellos” los jotarao, haciendo de ellos gente de la cual desconfiar. (Freire, G. & Tillett, A. 2007)
Los Tamanacos lo llamaron Orinoco, que quiere decir “Serpiente Enroscada”. (Isaac J. Pardo)

Excelente participación, mi estimada @noregmcb. En este mito se conjugan muchas conductas humanas como: la mentira, la desconfianza y la desobediencia. Además se corrobora el lema de que: "Amor prohibido es amor eterno". Gracias por motivarte a compartir tu historia y por apoyar este concurso. Un abrazo.
