Mama Qucha

The "Sea Mother" and the mistress of all waters, she is the vast Pacific that provides fish for the Empire and calm for the sailors. She is the guardian of the whales and the protectress of the shorelines, a goddess whose moods are reflected in the rhythm of the tides and the violence of the storms. She represents the infinite horizon and the deep, cold mysteries that lie beneath the blue glass of the ocean. She is the salt in the blood and the source of the life-sustaining rains that eventually find their way to the mountains.
