Tezcatlipoca, or "One Leg".

NO. 1

Tezcatlipoca is the god of the night sky, hurricanes, obsidian, conflict, and providence. When depicted, he usually wore a talisman with a disk worn as a chest pectoral. While depicted with black and yellow stripes painted across his face, he is usually shown with his left foot replaced with an obsidian mirror, bone, or snake, as it was lost to the sea monster Cipactli in the mythos. In the Aztec religion, he was the central deity. In Aztec or Mesoamerican folklore, he and other gods could shapeshift, and he was no different as his counterpart was the illusive but powerful jaguar, which is why he is known as the jaguar god.

NO. 2

This figure is extremely popular, and worshipped by the Mayan and Olmec communities. His name in the Mesoamerican language means ‘Smoking Mirror.’ This deity has numerous epithets which allude to different characteristics, like Ipalnemoani ("He by Whom We Live"), Necoc Yaotl ("Enemy of Both Sides"), and Tioque Nahuaque (‘Lord of the Near and the Night’), etc. His power to omnipresence was more a connection that extended far beyond obsidian since ritual bloodletting and human sacrifice were conducted with obsidian. Apart from being a creator god, he was also a trickster and ruled over the modern Aztec pantheon.

NO. 3

Tezcatlipoca, according to Aztec mythology, was born to the primordial creator deities Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl, and had four siblings; one of whom, Quetzalcoatl, the god of the wind, patron of priests, and inventor of calendars and books; he was known as the Serpent Feathered god. The brothers feuded as much as they worked together, working towards the same goal but sometimes in opposition towards each other. After being born, this deity spent over 600 years for his youngest brother Huitzilopochtli to grow flesh before Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl, together, made the world. Before the world was made, the only thing that was technically alive were a few gods, a massive ocean and the sea monster, Cipactli, which Tezcatlipoca successfully lured away and killed by using his foot as bait. Both brothers were able to create the world on the sea monster’s body.

Pawahtun the sky God Musical festival poster I designed during one of my trips, simultaneously traveling, exhibitions and work on the road. So exited to see it on the oficial posters. I was asked to make my own interpretation of the Mayan Ancient deity of the universe who comes out of a shell, with a loto flower on his head, a turtle upon his back, beneath the sun and above the night, holding up the universe. Those where the features he must have, and I added the mother all seeing eye of the unknown alone his brow. What feature of Pawahtun did you like the most? for me it was the mother eye 👁 and the bicephalous turtles 🐢 and the idea he was inspired by Ged from @ursulakleguin Wizard of Earthsea 🧙🏿‍♂️ . . #pawahtun #pawahtunfestival #tulum #artoftehanifarr #illustration #drawing #coverart #mayan #mayangod #gods #mexico #mexicanart #musicfestival #art (at Tulum Cancun) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bso8d4PgNaf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10udbfoa2qgdf

✨🏵️🔥₳₥฿ɆⱤ ₮₳Ⱡł₴₥₳₦₴ 🔥🏵️✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These Mayan talismans are said to bestow positivity, wisdom, and power to the owner. Many of the carvings have an obvious link to the Jaguar which were considered the untamable Spirit of the jungle. The priest acting as a conduit then confers the power of the jaguar, the power of the jungle, to the recipient. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌻Thanks @kyaniteking for these specimens and the info!!

Mayan Memory

I was fortunate to spend 9 days in Mexico this month.

There, I mostly celebrated what Mayans would call Kinich Ahau aka the Sun God. 

Based on the Yucatan Peninsula, Quintana Roo, I was exploring ancient Mayan sites (Tulum) or diving in Cenotes (caves and underground rivers). I was told Mayan History by Mayan descendants who cared to bust the calendar prophecy myths and give credit to the Mayan’s scientific mind. 

My path also took me to Isla Mujeres which served as a sanctuary for the goddess Ixchel, the Maya goddess of the moon, fertility, medicine, and happiness. She was the lover of Kinich Ahau for sometimes but their love was impossible. 

There, I felt a strong woman protective energy. 

In keeping with my yoga practice, I set out to explore 2 asanas a day. Coming to my mat, filled with the sun and the perfumed air of the Caribbean Sea, meeting with the scents of the subtropical forest, was Joy.

Time is sacred. At this point, I have 3 months left to harness the biomechanics of my asana series and really embody my self-practice. 

It is an absolute pleasure to learn consistently, and I feel blessed for re-discovering this anatomy science and discovering the internal experience.

May Ixchel stands by me in this undertaking and journey.
