En Ecuador también se recolecta el néctar del maguey y se le conoce como tsawar mishki. Una vez fermentado, se le dice guarango.
A diferencia de México, en Ecuador esta bebida se consume sólo en áreas rurales y no hay en las ciudades un lugar para beber guarango o tsawar mishki, como sería una pulquería.
Tiene que ver con el racismo y la discriminación, pues el tsawar mishki también se da a los animales como alimento en las comunidades indígenas.

Haciendo limpieza de mis archivos digitales encontré este boceto de Mayahuel Alimentando a Tochtli del 2016.
En ese momento me invitaron a participar con algunas piezas con el tema de la historia del pulque; una bebida que se extrae del maguey. A partir de la leyenda de mayahuel hice este boceto donde ella alimenta con su pulque, leche vital; a uno de los 400 conejos mencionados en la leyenda. La figura del conejo está inspirada en los códices mesoamericanos.
Posteriormente ponte una versión de esta obra que actualmente se encuentra en una colección particular.

My show at Art Bug Gallery opens on Saturday!
The Triptych of Maguey, the sacred plant of Mesoamerica, will be on display at this show! It consists of the central painting, in which appears Mayahuel, Lady of Maguey, and two accompanying paintings of Pahtecatl, Lord of Pulque, and Ometochtli, Lord of Drunkenness.
Our ancestors considered alcoholic beverages to be a means of communication with the Teteo. Drunkenness is a state of divine connection, through which inspiration, devotion, love, violence and courage are shared with us.
You can find these paintings as prints in my Etsy store!
The yacametztli or Moon nose ring is an element of the regalia of the Pulque Lords. These deities are associated with darkness, humidity and the feminine side of the cosmos. The Moon incarnates the feminine principle, subtlety, fertility and cold, spiritual qualities found in pulque, which is seen as the milk with which the Earth feeds Her children. In the paintings of Pahtecatl, Lord of Medicine, and Ometochtli, Lord of Drunkenness, They both bear a yacametztli, symbolizing Their relation with the qualities of pulque.
The paintings of Pahtecatl and Ometochtli will be on display at my upcoming show at Art Bug Gallery. Click here to see prints of Them!
In this scene, Mayahuel, Our Lady Maguey, appears breastfeeding a plumed fish. It is a profoundly symbolic image which shows Her role as mother and nurturer. The plumed fish is a visual metaphor that alludes to Mimich, one of the most ancient divine ancestors of the Mexica. Lord Mimich was a chichimeca, part of a nomad group, and His death represents the foundation of the first villages and cities. The symbol of the plumed fish refers to preciousness, which can be found in the wisdom of our ancestors. The scene, thus, presents Mayahuel, the plant of maguey, as nurturer of humankind from the most ancient of times.
