Burning bright in the heart of Mayan mythology, the spirit of Ixcacao… She is an imaginative figure often seen dressed in white blossoms, the Goddess of Cacao. Throughout time she has been worshiped alongside other agricultural deities. Ixcacao’s fruits are thought to have intoxicating and aphrodisiac properties, traditionally used in ceremony by being brewed into a spicy, bittersweet drink. There are legends of people permitted to walk for days without food. This magical mother who provides us with her joyous beans is surely one to be grateful for!
