		Mayahuel is an Aztec goddess credited with the invention of pulque, an alcoholic beverage made from the South American maguey plant (Agave americana).
		Mayahuel is sometimes shown having four hundred breasts - both an indication of her aspect as a fertility goddess, and possibly as a reference to the "milk" flowing from the agave.
		In Aztec folklore, Mayahuel was a farmer's wife who was walking through her husband's agave fields one day, on her way to gather water.

		Mayahuel is the patroness of pulque and of all other intoxicants and hallucinogens as well.

		In Aztec times, pulque was the highly esteemed drink of the elders, priests and warriors, a nectar that according to myth oozed from the 400 breasts of the goddess Mayahuel.
		In modern Mexico, the foamy, slightly viscous and foul-smelling booze is slowly disappearing, a victim of the rising popularity of beer and of failing to shake off its image as a poor man's tipple.
		According to Aztec myth, Mayahuel invented pulque and introduced the elixir to other gods, including 400 rabbit gods whose drunkenness was so legendary that a pulque high was counted in rabbit units in the language of the time.
