The Gift of Maguey

According to ancient Mexica (mess-she-ca) myth, the gods grew the first maguey (agave) plant from the buried remains of Mayahuel, the legendary 400 breasted goddess.

The Time of Pulque

Revered as a ritual intoxicant by the Aztecs, the juice of the living maguey plant when fermented becomes Pulque, giving sacred status to the maguey.
