"INOMOXO"

(free versión from the novel entitled "The three halves of Ino Moxo")
Author: CESAR CALVO.

A long time ago, when the Amazon natives were being exterminated by the presence of the rubber and oil seekers, the witch leader of the Amawaka nation called Ximu had an invader's son kidnapped and appointed him as his successor. He re-baptized him under the name of Ino Moxo, which in amawaka language means "Black Panther."

Later on, this boy, some sort of a Messiah, would bring salvation to the village by one simple reason, he can buy the weapons the village needs to fight the settler invasion. Indians, considered savages, were forbidden from purchasing weapons.

The ritual of drinking Ayahuasca, sacred beverage of the Amazon Indians to contact their gods, is the excuse to tell the story of this character who was known as the all almighty witch doctor.

From the moment the actor felt this illumination, he was able to achieve his role as the guide to routes and roads, truths and revelations that transcend this ancestral potion, an elixir to achieve resistance.
