Mayan Gods

Mayan mythology is complex and has a truly rich context, placing corn as the creative nature of the Homo sapiens or humankind as we know it today. Mayan gods are characterized by the use of dual energies such as malevolence / benevolence; their associations changed according to the days in the Mayan calendar and the celestial bodies such as stars, planets and the cosmic positions of the Sun, Moon, and Venus as well as natural elements had their own representative god.

Mayan deities are associated with numbers, crops, days of the Mayan calendar and periods of time. Mayan Gods, deities and supernatural beings often display unique aspects of nature based often in correlation to the four Bacabs or Cardinal points and/or with the central earth position represented by the Ceiba tree.

The Ceiba tree still holds the center position of all sacred Mayan rituals and spiritual ceremonies. This sacred Ceiba Tree is placed as a symbol of sacred life force, an energy vortex or interconnection between the Thirteen Heavens (inhabited by Gods and mythological deities dwell), our earth plane (where man, flora and fauna reside), and the Nine Underworlds (where death and night with the corresponding deities dwell).

• Gukumatz (God of the four elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water). The Plumed Quetzal-Feathered Serpent. Each element was associated with a divine animal or plant: Air - Vulture, Earth - Maize, Fire - Lizard, and Water - Fish. He/She is probably the most important god in the pantheon of the maya. The name Gucumatz is known to the Yucatec as Kukulcan and most famously Quetzalcoatl. He was worshipped as early as the first century BCE at the great city of Teotihauacan.
  
  Gucumatz is identified as one of the thirteen deities who shaped the world and created human beings. From Gucumatz humans learned the rules of law, agriculture, literacy, the arts, medicine, architecture, construction, hunting, fishing, and all other aspects of civilization. He is said ot have come from the sea, conveyed to the people his gifts and ruled wisely over them, and then returned to the sea, promising to come back one day.
  
  The god of all four elements, he was also the representation of the comingling of good and evil, light and darkness, and so became a central figure in many of the myths of the Maya and popularly depicted, in various forms, in virutally every city-state. As Kukulcan, he is the great plumed serpent who glides down the steps of El Castillo at Chichen Itza on the spring and autumn euqinoxes and is thought to bring positive energy to the earth and to those present at his descent.

  the strange fruit of the tree and, on approaching, was addressed by the head of Hun Hunahpu who then spit in her open palm.
  
  She became pregnant with the hero twins and, following Hun Hunahpu’s command, left Xibalba and presented herself to his mother, Xumucane.
