🌎 The Mapuche people of southern Chile and Argentina have long told of the mythical “Pillán,” powerful spirits linked to volcanoes and natural disasters. Early European chroniclers in the 16th century recorded beliefs that eruptions were caused by these spirits’ anger. The word “pillán” still appears in many local place names near active volcanoes. ✨ #Mapuche⚡#mythology⚡#volcanoes⚡#legends 👉subscribe Interesting Planet
