mayan deitys in the game
Chac, The Generous One
The eastern cardinal direction, red like the rising sun, is blessed by Chac, giver of water, fertilization and life itself.
He has a young and vigorous body that is able to breed. He is recognized by his beard that is like a catfish, the cut seashell ear covering, as well as his prominent nose, the line that begins at the eye and the jade collar that pours like rain on his chest.
Ah Puch, The Ancient One
A cord of light joins the earth with the sky through the north, and the white bones of the ancestors shine so that we will not forget them. There, where the bone rattle sounds, reigns Ah Puch, Lord of death, and all that is within him speaks of transit and transformation: bony torso and cranium, detached jaw, a hanging human femur, the resounding bones that dangle from his collar and the stains of rot on his legs.
Kin, The Precious One
Kin, patron of light, heat and movement, walks towards the sunset, leaving behind him, in the west, the young sun and upon his back he wears its beaming mark. Known also as Kinich Ajaw, Lord of the solar eye, he has walked a long path and his body displays the experience of the twilight. Such is the testament of the teeth of XOC, regal shark that registers the days, the roman nose weathered by age, and the long beard that nearly reaches his chest, just as the rays of the sun to the earth.
Ixchel, She Who Regenerates
The path is yellow, the direction is south, and there the creative and destructive powers of Ixchel are concentrated. Luminous and dark Lady, moon and earth, young and old, who feeds as well as devours.
Her long hair, with curling ends that evoke Caban, the deep earth, tell of her nourishing power; as does the plentiful bosom, provider of our first sustenance and symbol of Imix, abundance.
And, the other face of Ixchel is terrible and ominous, gazing with the oblique eye of the decrepitude of the final days, opening her toothless mouth in a grimace as dark as it is unfathomable, being the threshold to the underworld, and she wears a necklace made of rain, copious and unrestrained, unleashed by death.
As such, we remember that there is no life without regeneration and everything must be devoured in order to be born again, which is why the great Lady dons a belt of bones, sonorous rattles with which she performs a macabre dance with Ah Puch.
