In Mexico the idea of fertility and the rites consequent of this diversified just as communities express their pleadings and gratitude to these kind and energetical forces that all procure.
Ixchel was worshipped for the mayan riviera, goddess of fertility, agriculture, natural cycles and global sexuality. Their arduous veneration had to do with her fluctuant mood, considering that she can cause either life or death, therefore, mayans did not doubt to build temples, acts and offerings which were supplications to the vital and founding movement.

The thread that bastes nature is on the hands of this goddess as well as the umbilical cord is the duct that feeds all that exists and stops making it .

They make possible the Change, the Transcendence and the Importance of living and dying in the direction of a community towards an spirituality that even today thrives and is in the presence of the sensitivity of human relief.
