Who says "onza" means jaguar? I do not think so. Anagnorisis 03:31, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Diccionario de la Lengua Española[1], onza is another word for jaguarundí. The jaguarundí[2] should not be mistaken with the Jaguar species, however.--69.121.105.183 05:51, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Erik the Red?

Just watched a program about Maria Lionza and there was a brief mention of a connection with the Viking Erik the Red. Could someone more knowledgable about the topic add and eliberate within the article more about that connection? Thank you.

Good new source: the new York times

Today's edition of The New York Times (oct 28) has a good article about the religion and bits about it's history, place in Venezualian society and use of people like Erik the Red. --166.205.6.39 (talk) 14:57, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned?

Maria Lionza is not worship alone. No mention of Negro Felipe and Indio Guaicaipuro. They are worship as a trio. (there are others also .....)
