FERTILITY: MAYAN COSMOVISION

 FERTILITY: MAYAN COSMOVISION

For the most native towns of the world, nature is a system that has the intelligence to preserve the whole species. An essential substance that conceives all that we can warn with our senses even the understanding beyond them.

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.

Ixchel was represented as a rainbow, the moon, the earth and as a universal weaver that with subtlety makes things  breathe and be important at the order of all living beings. 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 .
Itzamná is the main and wisest mayan god who is consort of Ixchel, in this union concentrates precisely the most sacred feeling for the mayan people. 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.
