In a system of four quadrants, the four lines inevitably meet in the center, creating a fifth dimension to the cosmic universe. The central point holds great significance to the Kogi people. It represents the center of the universe, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. During the ceremony, this is the point where the Mamo buries the four sacred offerings and “speaks with god”. In the center of the circle, he places a tiny stool upon the spot where he receives and answers questions of the cosmic universe.
