Wenumapu is the heaven in Mapuche mythology; it is where the gods live. The greatest of them, in a certain way, the only one is Ngnechen. He controls the minor gods. In Wenumapu the same activities as in the Mapu, or earth, take place.
The Minchemapu represents the contrary: evil, the depths. It is a world of malignant spirits or wekufes. The power of them produces sickness and death. Besides Ngnechen, owner or tutor of men, there is Chau or Antú. Also called Antu fucha (old sun king) and in its feminine dimension Antu kuche (old moon queen) .
