Chie
In Chibcha myth, the goddess of sensual pleasure. This fun-loving goddess advised the people to live a life of merrymaking, joy and laughter instead of just obeying the laws. It is said that she was turned into an owl or the moon by Bochica, the god of law.

Huitaca
The Chibcha goddess of indulgence, drunkenness, and licence. (also Chia): Moon Goddess to the ancient Chibacha, who lived in what is now Colombia. Huitaca was depicted as an owl. Representing the spirit of joy and pleasure, she was constantly at odds with the male Bochica, who stood for hard work, and a solemn approach to daily living.
