Yúcahu (YOO-kah-hoo)
Mesoamerican Deity
Yúcahu
Yúcahu, the supreme sky father and spirit of cassava, stands as the Taíno god of agriculture, creation, and cosmic order. He was born from Atabey without male intervention, embodying celestial continuity and the sacred link between sky and sustenance. It is he who planted the first cassava, blessed the fields, and shaped the mountain El Yunque as both home and beacon.
In Taíno belief, Yúcahu is not a distant god but one who breathes through every crop, raincloud, and rising breeze. He is revered at planting and harvest alike, honored through zemis (idols) and whispered to during storms. Though benevolent, he is not naive—he guards his people fiercely from the chaotic forces of Guabancex and the disorder of famine or drought.
