This Wednesday, Bertha treated the Tapi to her famous BBQ chicken and hot sauce. As the delicious scent drifted through the jungle, more and more people gathered to taste the chicken and join the dancing.
Whisper offered a prayer before the dinner.
Raises arms with a wide smile, “Welcome, children of the jungle, to another sacred Naked Wednesday! The sun is high, our skin is bare, and stomachs are hungry!”
Raises her staff proudly toward the smoke, “Today, we do not just bathe — we feast! And we do so with love in our hearts and no loins on our hips, just like the ancestors intended!”Laughs softly, “We call now upon the gods of the jungle… Mama Cocha, Lady of Water and Taste… Inti, bringer of Fire… and Mama Quilla, Moon Mother of laughter and thighs!”
Gestures to the cook, “We offer thanks and blessings to Miss Bertha, whose sacred hands have been kissed by the spirits of spice! May her fried chicken bring joy to our bellies and heat to our loins!”
“The gods love naked people! They love us greasy, spicy, and free! So shake what Mama Cocha gave you, lift your drumsticks high, and eat with gratitude!”
Closes eyes in reverence, “Mama Cocha, Jungle Mother — bless this feast, bless these flames, and bless our bare, beautiful bodies. May we always dance with joy, cook with love, and honor you with full hearts and bare bodies.”
“Bless Bertha’s spices, protect our nipples and cocks from the fire, and may our laughter echo through the leaves!”
Taupeicha! And extra hot sauce!
Then everyone ate chicken, drank, and danced late into the night.
