Mama Ocllo

In Inca mythology, Mama Cora Ocllo /ˈɒkj/, Mama Ocllo, Mama Ogllo, Mama Oello (in Hispanicized spellings), Mama Oella, Mama Oullo, Mama Occlo (spellings resulting from bad OCR), Mama Okllo or Mama Uqllu (Quechua) was deified as a mother and fertility goddess. In one legend she was a daughter of Inti and Mama Killa, and in another the daughter of Viracocha (Wiraqucha) and Mama Qucha. She was the sister and wife of Manco Cápac (Manqu Qhapaq) and discovered Cusco with him. She taught the Inca women the art of spinning thread.
