In a context were singular entities are limited, the Awajún expressed in the past two opposite attitudes towards the deads, according to their belonging or not to the same dialectical society. Both attitudes have yet in common to define the corpse as a means to acquire a soul, supposed to incorporate a new individuated existence (in the case of head hunting) ; or described in terms of vision-power, in the sense of “ being able to ” (in the case of the quest of Ajútap). Today, this relationship to the corpse has disappeared and has been replaced by a reinforcement of the usage of psychotropic plants as a means to meet the Ajútap spirit. According to the myth, these plants are born from the slow germination of the corpse inside the earth.
