Agave o Maguey comes from the Mayáhuel, the goddess of
maguey, the fertility and inebriation for the Mexicas (Nahuas).
Agave or maguey is used to make several drinks such as mezcal,
tequila and pulque.

A long time ago, here on earth there was a lot of sadness and
the humans seemed to have no life, so the sacred energies told
themselves that they would send the Metl woman to give them
their medicine. And one day as planned Metl came, and she really
liked being here with Mother Earth. She saw that there
was a lot of sadness in humanity; then she spoke to a man who
was passing by and told him to do what she ordered.
Metl transformed herslef into a beautiful maguey / agave plant
with a beautiful green skirt. And she said to the man: ‘gently
scrape me from the bottom and leave a hole, then come back
tomorrow morning, take the juice that will be on the bottom of
my heart, and drink it’. After doing what Metl asked, the man
started to feel. He looked at her with great happiness coming
from his heart and danced; to which Metl told him to give them
to the other people to be happy. This man did so, he shared the
medicine from Metl’s own essence and thus, humanity regained
happiness. Metl and humans worked together and were together
happily ever after. This medicine today is called Mezcal and comes
from the Agave plant.
