Calafia....Warrior Women....
Wikipedia:
"Calafia has been depicted as the Spirit of California, and has been the subject of modern-day sculpture, paintings, stories and films; she often
figures in the myth of California's origin, symbolizing an untamed and bountiful land prior to Europeans taking the land by force.[3]"
...of course the "myth" has a powerful female image being converted to male-dominant religion....such is religious story-telling.
I would prefer the image of the notion pre-conversion....aside from the bit about killing and eating men/male babies after conjugal encounters....
