The Heart to Heart Spirituality of the Mayans

The creation of a sacred altar by a Mayan village or other form of community can occur at any time. Its intention among many is to facilitate healing and reconciliation among members of the group; it is a basic spiritual practice of the Mayan religion.

The practice and significance of a Mayan community creating a sacred altar is described in what follows.  It is based on a handout provided visitors to the Institute of Intercultural Studies and Research (INESIN) in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. All quotations are from the handout written by the Institute’s Mayan staff members. “The altar begins to take shape as the community…

Now, what I want to see from star trek is how aliens represent other aliens in art. Imagine if that ancient Bajoran guy who space-sailed to cardassia came back and told ppl how cardassians look, spawning hundreds of kinda shitty drawings in bestiaries after a long game of telephone where they barely look recognisable (like these: first is a scorpion, second is a panther)

[Image ID: a deer-shaped creature with a red belly, face, and legs, a blue back, green butt, and beige neck. it has white streaks coming out of its mouth, as if it's exhaling or spitting. a group of rams, sheep and deer look at it, with very confused expressions. /. End ID]

All the pre-warp species that the federation had broken the prime directive with must have some sick paintings of vaguely humanoid creatures standing around in matching outfits.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY: do other species have something like the zodiac? Or drawings of the star systems around their planet, using familiar figures to link different stars together? What did they call the foreign planets, before they learned they were called Vulcan or Romulus or Ferenginar? Imagine all the pre-warp star maps in different alien languages and art styles. the ones we have irl say so much about the cultures they were made in.

I could go on forever about how we love to look into the vast unknown to find reflections of ourselves, and how i think star trek is an extension of that urge we've clearly been having since the dawn of time. Its not just the need to study things that will help with our everyday lives (like looking at the harvest moon), its the way we often take a celestial body and make it the symbol of a human characteristic, like how klingons represent honour and vulcans represent logic. what we think about space and what we do to fill in the gaps of the unknown say a lot about how we think in general. and according to trek we think a lot about weird little blokes in weird little outfits so. yh fair enough

i think this is my most research heavy shitpost ever lmao. but please add ur thoughts or take these ideas however u like

The Master Crystal Skulls

According to an ancient Mayan prophecy, when the 13 crystal skulls are brought together, all the wisdom they contain will be released, ushering in a new era. These skulls are said to have been inherited by the Mayans from the Atlanteans before their world disappeared. The legend suggests that these skulls represent cosmic knowledge and transformation, connecting the consciousness of all worlds.

The legend prophesied that one day, at a time of great crisis for humanity, all thirteen crystal skulls would be rediscovered and brought together to reveal information vital to the very survival of the human race. To date several skulls have been discovered.

The Mayan Crystal Skulls

Frank Dorland, entrusted to Anna with the skull in the late 1960s, reported numerous odd experiences while in its presence. These experiences included seeing images of ancient temples in the skull's eyes, Lubaantun at the height of the Mayan civilization, and hearing metallic bells, singing, whispered voices, and the sound of icy mountain streams.

He would see images of ancient temples in the skull's eyes, Lubaantun at the height of the Mayan civilization. He could hear metallic bells, singing, whispered voices, and icy mountain streams alongside the visions.

Dorland did not think the visions were paranormal phenomena but a natural synchronicity between the crystal and the human brain — "the mass of crystal in some way triggered certain reflexes in the brain, to make you think that you were tasting things, hearing things or seeing things." These experiences, as described by Dorland, offer a fascinating glimpse into the potential interactions between humans and crystal skulls

IXCHEL, the Mayan Moon Goddess

Official Pyramid Media 369 website: www.pyramidmedia369.com

Here is a picture of the Ancient Mayan Goddess, Ixchel (pronounced Ischel) and sitting on the Moon and holding a rabbit while fishing. The fishing pole and the fish are also symbolic. Have you ever heard of the Fishers of Men? I will explain this in a different article. The Rabbit she is holding symbolizes fertility, sex and abundance (good fortune). The Moon Goddess is known to be a goddess of love, midwifery, sex, fertility, pregnancy/childbirth, water, rain, textile arts, agriculture and natural medicine. In hieroglyphs, her name appears as Chak Chel, which means “Big Rainbow”. Ixchel is one half of the original Creator Couple. Yes you heard it right, the Creator is a companion! There is always a masculine-feminine counterpart in the untold stories of the Creator. The male Creator God is known as Itzamna, the Solar God, the Supreme Being, Father of The Universe, etc. Ixchel, Itzamna’s wife, is also believed to have just been the feminine manifestation of the Creator, as she is the mother of both the Sun and the Moon. Some also referred to as an evil old woman that had unfavorable aspects, due to her association with destruction, floods. But she was honored because of her many different healing powers. She is also depicted as an old woman emptying a vessel of water on certain hieroglyphs.

She is also referred to as “Goddess O’ in the Dresden Codex, the original Mayan Tablets found in Dresden Germany, hence the name.  “Goddess I” is her younger counterpart, ie. a younger projection of herself. She is the Goddess of Marriage; as well as human procreation, as they aid the health & vital functions of the fertile woman. Together, they are the representation of Frigg/Frigga in Norse mythology, which is ultimately Venus. Hence the term Fri-day. See my previous article about the days of the week and their names. But nonetheless, all Venusian deities are Mother Goddesses.  

The serpent on her head not only represents the shedding of old skin, it also represents transformation, Divine Feminine, Healing, Kundalini and Christ energy. She also was known as the Jaguar Goddess of War, due to her fierce ability to protect her tribe the same way a Grandmother would for all her family’s children. Although there is little information regarding her association with the Jaguar. Her energy is very subtle and supportive, and is known to aid both men and women who are on a path to transformation. Just like a Grandmother right?

The Temple of Ixchel

Among the Mayans, physicians and priests hailed her as the patron deity of divination and medicine. Mayan women visited sanctuaries dedicated to Ixchel when they wanted a happy marriage or a child. She has been depicted as overlooking childbirth in scenes painted on vases from Mayan Classic era. Certain other sources also hint her to be an Earth Goddess as well. She has various different expressions and is held to the highest regard out of all Goddesses in the Mayan pantheon. These assumptions are primarily made by identifying one or more of Ixchel’s traits with those of the other deities mentioned. I mean, she is 50% of the creator, isn’t she? Makes sense to me. Below you will see ancient Mayan transcripts indicating that it was advanced levels of science being exemplified.

Mayan Cosmovision

This is the Mayan depiction of the Earth, cosmos, elements and the 4 corners of the earth. Below you will see Ixchel floating amonst the firmament. The Red, White, Yellow and Black all represent one N, S, E, & W as well as the 4 elements.

A Connection Between Worlds

Capturing the Mystical The Tree of Life has roots that wind through countless cultures, from the Norse Yggdrasil to the sacred Bodhi tree of Buddhist tradition. Its branches stretch toward the divine, while its roots delve into the underworld, embodying the idea of connection—between life and death, earth and sky, humanity and the divine. Kopal, derived from trees thriving in tropical regions,…

Lake Atitlan in Guatemala is called “Nahachel” in the Quiche Mayan language. It is the southernmost of four sacred lakes that mark the boundaries of the Quiche world. The traditional Mayan today lives by the metaphors inherited not only from their forebears’ poetic imaginations. They are also guided by intense and prolonged study of the night sky.  The Quiche Mayan “Council Book”, the Popol Vuh,…

I think I upset dev idk what I did :/ broooo I always chase I need to stop :(

[neil-gaiman]

Stop me if you've answered these kinds of questions before:

I loved reading the graphic novel adaptation of American Gods. I was wondering if there were any particular reasons why there were no indigenous spiritual figures that to make an appearance in the story, like Glooskap or Nanabozho from Wabanaki/Anishinaabe legends, or Mexican deities like the Aztec Quetzalcoatl, or the Mayan Kinich Ahau?

Was it due to a lack of available research material at the time of writing? Concerns about presentation? Time constraints? Did they just not fit into the story you were trying to tell?

I hope this doesn't come off as leading or accusative, it's not meant to be. I was just curious. I would love to hear your perspective on this, as the author.

I think you may have missed Wisakedjak, who is there and vital to the story.

There are a number of Mexican and Mayan deities in the book, but they are described and not named.
