There are many legends of the origins of Maguey and Pulque .. this is one of them. In a time when people were in balance with nature, lived a young and very beautiful woman. Mayahuel was hidden in a far corner of the universe by her jealous and possessive Grandmother, Tzitzímitl Ancient life was filled with rituals and ceremony. The elemental energies fell in love and felt the full spectrum of human emotion. 400 drunken rabbits cavorted in the thirteen Heavens and Metztli delivered the moon each night to light the dark sky, young Mayahuel longed for love and would express this in song. Ehecatl heard her song on the wind he sent to the four corners of the universe. Mesmerized, he followed the sound until he found beautiful Mayahuel. He instantly fell in love with her. He curled his breeze around her body, caressing her. Mayahuel slowly danced with him until they became one. Each night they met, and each night they traveled on his soft breeze until she no longer returned to Tzitzímitl’s home. Tzitzímitl was enraged and plotted to kill the lovers. Ehecatl brought Mayahuel to Earth in order to save her. As they embraced, their bodies melted in passion until they became a beautiful plant with many green spires to symbolize their ascent to the heavens and spikes to keep the furious Tzitzimitl away. When Tzitzímitl found them, she cursed the power of love and swiftly cut the Maguey into tiny pieces, which she cooked until it became a broth she fed to her tzitzime (star demons) However she missed a small, beautiful green spire and left it on the desert floor. Ehecatl swept the spire on his strong breeze and planted it in rich volcanic soil. He shed great tears bestowed on him by Tlaloc, the Rain. His tears gave sustenance to Mayahuel, and the spire transformed into a Maguey and from there Mayahuel was reborn.
