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....

So this Calafia….is she single? There is something sexy about a man eater!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
