Quaoar in Astrology Blog
Quaoar is the Creator spirit who sang and danced creation into being; healing soul connection.
Quaoar (pronounced "kwaa'·waar") is the name of a creation deity of the Native American Tongva people, native to the basin area around Los Angeles, California and the Southern Channel Islands, an area covering approximately 4,000 square miles (10,000 km2), Chingichngish, (also spelled Chengiichngech, Chinigchinix, Chinigchinich, Changitchnish)also known as Quaoar also had other names; including Ouiamot, Tobet and Saor.
The name Quaoar was first recorded by Hugo Reid in his 1852 description of Tongva. It was recognised as an important mythological figure of the Mission Indians of coastal Southern California, a group of Takic-speaking peoples, some of which are the Tongva (Gabrieliño and Fernandeño) peoples.
Chinigchinix was born, or first appeared, after the death of Wiyot, a tyrannical ruler of the first beings, who was poisoned by his sons. Wiyot's murder brought death into the world, and as a consequence, the male creator Night divided the first human ancestors into distinct peoples, assigning them languages and territories. The name Ouiamot is ostensibly similar to Wiyot (Ouiot), the name of another important figure, the primeval tyrant killed just before the appearance of Chinigchinix. Ouiamot is possibly to be taken as Ouiamot the childhood name of Chinigchinix. Quaoar's parents were Tacu and Auzar, or, according to other accounts, he was born of Tamaayawut (Mother Earth). According to yet other accounts, "he had neither father nor mother", yet is generally referred to with masculine pronouns, see the details in the articles listed below.
According to Tongva mythology, it was Quaoar who danced and sang with a song in his heart, the world and other deities into existence.
In Tongva mythology, Kwawar (or Quaoar) is the grateful creation force of the universe, singing and dancing deities into existence.
