The Zapotec pantheon is rich and bewildering, and goes way beyond the standard deities for rain, sun, wind, earth, and war. Some of the most important gods were the Bat-god - the god of corn and fertility, Cocijo (who had a human body with jaguar and serpent features with a forked tongue) - the rain and lightning god, Coquebila - god of the earths centre, Huechaana - a mother goddess also associated with hunting and fishing, Ndan - the androgynous god of the oceans, Pixee Pecala the god of love, and Coqui Xee - the creator god who represented infinity. ow.ly/B16TF
