Dear Sirs, you know that I like to make you dream and fantasize by introducing you to new erotic sources that you never knew existed. That’s why we’re flying over the oceans again today.
At the heart of the mysteries of Latin America lies a fascinating divinity: Ixchel, Mayan goddess of fertility. Her essence is woven into the very fibers of culture, imbuing daily life with her ancestral heritage. Throughout the ages, she has remained an inexhaustible source of fascination, symbolizing fertility, strength and feminine magic.
A triple goddess, Ixchel (also Ix-chel; pronounced “I-chel”) sometimes takes the form of a young girl with the ears and claws of a jaguar, often carrying a shield and spear. At other times, she is depicted as an old woman with the claws of a jaguar, a snake in her hands and a skirt decorated with human bones.
Who was thisdivinity ?
Also known as the rainbow goddess of the moon, Ixchel was so beautiful, almost too beautiful. Her complexion was opalescent, her long hair, which she brushed for hours, shone in the sun. All the gods were captivated by her beauty, all but one. The sun god seemed immune to Ixchel’s charms. Ironically, it was on him that the goddess set her sights, seeing and wanting only him.
For many, many years, she watched him stroll across the sky in his golden splendor, hoping that he, in turn, would notice her. But the longer she followed him, the worse it got on earth. When she chased him, the tides rose, creating floods that invaded fields and destroyed crops. She was so in love, she didn’t realize the disasters she was creating.
Like many a lunar goddess, Ixchel was an accomplished weaver, and it was her magnificent dress, woven by her own hands, that finally caught the sun-god’s eye. At last, they fell in love. Ixchel gave the sun god four sons. They were the jaguar-gods, sneaking in at night when the sun was gone. They were named after the four cardinal points, and each was responsible for holding a corner of the sky.
But the sun was jealous. So when she fled, she spent several nights on the island of Cozumel, her sacred place. There, she looked after pregnant women and women in childbirth. This is how she became a goddess symbolizing fertility.
