¡Hola! I really don't appear to have very much on this page right now - but I realise that there is an awful lot going on in this part of the world - and I shall rectify the situation as quickly as possible. Some intense research is in order!

An excerpt from the Mythica Encyclopaedia

Cocomama
A goddess of health and happiness. Originally a promiscuous woman cut in half by jealous lovers; her body grew into the first coca bush, whose leaves men were not supposed to chew until they had satisfied a woman's sexual needs. The ancient Peruvians believed coca brought health and happiness.
