MANI (2)
Tupi Grain Goddess
Well-loved Brazilian Food Goddess
She started out as a mortal who claimed she would take on celestial status upon his demise and come back as a maniac.
No, that can’t be right. Further research has revealed that she came back as Manioc, which is a staple food plant.
This still sounds rather strange. Do Brazilians eat staples?
