A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - In Chibcha (Muisca) mythology, Huitaca was the rebel goddess of drunkenness, widely known as the goddess of lust. She was a beautiful woman of lunar origin who preached the need for a broad, joyful life, full of games, pleasures, and liberation of sex.
As the lunar goddess of intoxication, Huitaca was the rival of a male preacher, Bochica, who was the Chibcha people's national hero and enjoyed almost the same status as a god.
The Pre-Columbian Chibcha (Muisca) were an indigenous people of the Eastern Cordillera of the Colombian Andes. Many of their customs and traditions were demonized due to the arrival of the Spanish. However, today, the Chibcha still recall that Bochica came to them when he was needed at a time of most unpleasant disorder.
The great hero and a gentle being did much for the people and preached against war and worshiping idols. He taught how to plant crops, spin cotton, make clothing, create music, and build houses.
