Cavillace, or Cavillaca, was an Incan virgin goddess.
According to legend, she ate some fruit which contained the sperm of Coniraya, the god of instant fertility and the moon. She subsequently gave birth to a child. Confused, she enquired as to whom got her with child. Coniraya came forward. He was a beggar-like god, and Cavillace was disgusted, mainly because he had not come forward as soon as she had the child. She threw herself into the sea, with her son, and they both turned into rocks.
