Mural of Huitaca the Rebellious DeityLuis Alberto Acuña

This mural (1950s) portrays Huitaca, a sensual Muisca goddess of pleasure and disorder, who defied Bochica, the culture hero who taught law, farming, and morality. Condemned for her rebellion, she was transformed into an owl. Her winged form here embodies the clash between instinct and discipline, chaos and cosmic order at the heart of Muisca belief.
