Mayan Goddess.


Ixchel rainbow goddess of fertility.





On this occasion, I want to share another Mayan legend that I recently read thanks to a trip to Cancun, Mexico,  specifically Isla Mujeres.



The Mayans tell that in the Overworld lived thirteen luminous gods and in the Underworld nine evil deities of darkness, all these gods coexisted with each other, Itzamná a young mortal god who was the inventor of books and writing, knew and fell in love with Ixchel, a goddess full of kindness and beauty and very skillful to weave, she lived with her sister Ixtab and with a group of maidens who accompanied her.



Ixchel accepted that Itzamná would court her and little by little she fell in love with him without telling anyone. But when they were more in love, there appeared a god from the Underworld, Ah Puch, the god of death and approached the beautiful young woman, but she rejected it because it did not inspire confidence.



By that rejection Ah Puch began to provoke Itzamná to fight with him, Ixtab, sister of the goddess, summoned them to fight to the death and whoever was the winner would marry Ixchel.





The luminous god demolished the dark god, leaving him dying on the ground. Itzamná quickly searched for the face of his beloved, but Ah Puch got up and wounded his opponent with a knife in the back. Ixchel ran to her beloved who lay on the ground, hugged him and kissed him in the mouth for the first time, desperate to have lost Itzamná, decided to take her own life to be by his side.


Hunab Ku the Creator God, divided the time into day and night, so that Itzamná became the Sun God and he turned his beloved into the goddess of the Moon, star endowed with the femininity of Ixchel and her virtues of goddess and as a woman, as a potential mother, benefactress, healer, and midwife, in addition to transforming maidens into stars to accompany her again. Since then the stars dance with Ixchel in the darkness of the sky, while the Sun, hidden, throbbing with love for the Moon, observes them in the distance.


It is said that the goddess Ixchel grants the damsels of the Earth, love and have children, so the Mayans recognized her as the goddess of love and fertility and represent her with a rabbit in her arms because this animal reproduces with speed. The Mayans went in procession in canoes adorned to Cozumel and Isla Mujeres where they had built sanctuaries in honor of the goddess Ixchel.

Political fanaticism.

  Political fanaticism.    In recent years, a very latent phenomenon that has been growing dangerously and vertiginously, in a context of high polarization; this distorter is presented as an enemy of electoral conscience and a healthy and mature democracy, it is political fanaticism.    But let's start by defining fanaticism:    According to the definition of the Royal Spanish Academy : it is an “excessive passion and tenacity in the defense of beliefs or opinions, especially religious or political ones”.    For Voltaire: “Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, what rage is to anger. He who has ecstasies, visions, who takes dreams for realities and his imaginations for prophecies is a novice fanatic with great hopes; he may soon get to kill for God's sake."    Therefore, fanaticism is identified by the desire to impose their ideas, despise those who are different, be based on a series of thoughts that ar...
