#;c.amazotz
#YEHAAA
#his icons are finally done ๐๐๐
#i love adding lil hidden meanings on my i.con b.orders
#there's 4squares by each side representing not only eyes (lil dot on middle as the pupil)
#but also there's 4 bc the 4th month in the m.aya calendar is the month of the bat
#inspired by vases found feat bats + eyeballs that likely were a way of representing multitude of bats
#u know; to not draw endless bats; u draw eyeballs and it alludes to the idea that theres a lot
#bats were very important in m.aya culture for many diff reasons; these being symbolic; religious; sociopolitical; cultural and more
#of course these morphed according regions and time but one thing that stuck to me that i wanted to allude to is
#the connection between bats; c.amazotz and s.acrifice through d.ecapitation
#hence the b.loody sword
#the connection between bats and d.ecapitation follows the observation of v.ampire bats; whose main food was blood yes; but there is as well-
#the natural trait they have of snatching fruit from trees;
#which translates to them being identified with d.ecapitation
#this is portrayed in the p.opol v.uh when c.amazotz snatches the head off one of the twin heroes
#OH OH AND;; how they are associated with the underworld; but not just that; also the world of the living
#bc bats live in caves however u see them flying in the air as well; so thats why i added the sun and the moon (up; down)
#red is associated with the sun and blood alongside strenght
#and blue is associated wiith the sky alongside other symbolism
#mmm what else
#and well; thats a glyph of the bat month
#u know; despitetheir importance; information about c.amazotz himself is quite scarce
#at least in regards to what has been found physically speaking
#since a lot was destroyed + a lot of traditions were spread o.rally + our limited knowledge about m.aya culture in general
#but once u start to put the pieces together; u can find a lot of info!
#its very interesting!!! apologies for the ramble but theres so much to talk about its very waooowww
#anyways; wiggly mouth c.amazotz supremacy
