Yachay

Yachay is a special type of phlegm generated by shamans and sorcerers of the Peruvian Amazon Basin which is believed to contain the essence of their power〔Piers Vitebsky. ''Shamanism''. University of Oklahoma Press (2001), (p. 102 ).〕 in the form of ''virotes'', tsentsak, darts, arrows, or splinters of bone that are believed to be contained in the phlegm. It is believed that these may be fired from the mouth, and that being pierced by ''virotes'' causes various conditions. These may be removed by a shaman, who sucks them out of the victim's body.
==Etymology==
Yachay is the Quechua word for knowledge. It is derived from the verb ''yacha'' (know), specifically referring to ritual knowledge. Similarly, the word for shaman is ''yachak'', or one who knows.
