Huitaca

Goddess of pleasure, associated with gambling and entertainment. She was punished for corrupting the Muiscas and condemned to be an owl that accompanies Chia (the Moon) leaving only at night. For the Muiscas, it transmitted wisdom through the Tijiqui ritual (Borrachero or Floripondio), a sacred plant considered as a conductor of the spirit and the mind towards a progression that opens the doors to states of cosmic consciousness.

Chibchacun

 

God of farming, patron saint of farmers, protector of corn and potatoes. He was the one who caused the closing of the Bacatá plateau that produced the great flood released by Bochica. The condemnation for Chibchacun was to carry on his shoulders the earth, which was previously supported on a large Guayacán; due to the weight Chibchacun must change position and for this reason the earth trembles. It resembles the figure of Atlas (Greek divinity) a giant who carries the earth on his shoulders.

Bachué

Goddess of life, white goddess, mother of the Muisca people. She is the product of the separation of the cosmic waters (Xia: water goddess-dual divinity; Tsia: waters of the sea; Sia: terrestrial waters, rains, lagoons and rivers). She emerged from the Iguaque lagoon with a child in her arms. When that child became a man, they conceived children (between 4 and 6 children would be born in each birth) and, in this way, the earth would be populated .
