Moon goddess Taino Symbols Necklace

The legend of the moon goddess states that there is a cave of the country chieftain Mautiatibuel (son of dawn) or 'Lord of the Dawn.' Both the sun and the moon were born in this cave. It was believed that the moon rises from the cave Mautiatbuel at dusk, only to return when the sun rises. The moon goddess hides in this cave when the sun has risen.
