Mama Cocha Classic Elegance Pendant Necklace

Goddess Pendant

Mama Cocha, or Mama Qucha, is the Incan goddess of the oceans. Her name means “mother of the waters” and is especially venerated in Ecuador, Peru, and Chile, where the ocean is an essential part of life and trade. She is also known as Goddess of Lakes and Springs, and she is honored with ceremonies to invite her blessings for bountiful harvests from both land and sea. Her rituals consist of fresh water and coca flower offerings called kintu. She came to Earth to bring harmony and balance to humanity, so all could live in peace and love. Mama Cocha represents everything feminine and life-giving.

It is said that the Incans began to worship her when they recognized in the form of rain and the knowledge of where to plant crops. She is the wife of the supreme god Vira Cocha, also known as Wiraqucha, and mother to the goddess of the moon, Mama Quilla, and Inti, the god of the Sun.

Mama Cocha is called on by farmers for bountiful harvests, fishermen for tranquil seas and full nets, and sailors to calm storms. She is sometimes depicted as a mermaid, and at other times, a whale goddess.
