Wekufe

Origin and tradition

Mapuche belief uses Wekufe for harmful spiritual forces or entities associated with illness, misfortune, and imbalance.

Illustration in this atlas

A dark animal-shaped presence in the forest. This is a symbolic choice: wekufe is not defined by a single wolf body, and harmful forces may be described as animals, shadows, or unseen presences.
