Coniraya

Coniraya, also called Coniraya Viracocha, is a trickster and moon deity of pre-Inca Andean mythology whose story survives in the Huarochiri Manuscript, one of the few narrative texts recording indigenous Andean religious tradition in its own Quechua language. Tradition describes him taking on the name and guise of Viracocha, the great Andean creator god already recorded on this atlas, to impersonate him, while secretly creating villages, terraced fields and irrigation canals for the people of Huarochiri. In a well known episode he fathered a child by the goddess Cavillaca after hiding his own semen inside a fruit that she ate; when their infant identified Coniraya as its father before an assembly of gods, Cavillaca fled in shame toward the Pacific coast, and Andean tradition explains coastal rock formations near Pachacamac as the frozen remains of her flight.
