Regretting what he did, Apolaki agreed to rule the sky with his sister.

[@Elena-ly9my]

Ix Chel is easily one of my favorite goddesses, and has been since I was a kid. There's an important bit that this retelling left out! In addition to typical 'moon goddess' stuff (being a goddess of healing, and fertility) Ix Chel is also supposed to be a fierce defender of women. Those who are dealing with an abusive spouse/partner are supposed to be able to turn to her for protection, and she defends women and children with an unwavering fierceness. Absolutely, indescribably pleased to see her story here!!! I love it when you guys post myths from Mesoamerica!

[@l.n.3372]

Great art, great morals, and great lessons to learn from this mythology. At the start, I was wondering if it would turn out nicely, given that it seemed like a much nicer version of the Zeus and Hera story (where Zeus transformed himself into a bird to trick Hera into falling in love with him). But it's actually a great moral cautionary tale about how you shouldn't get back together with an abuser. I wasn't expecting such an important lesson in this myth but I was pleasantly surprised!

Maya, the moon goddess was powerful but, she went back to the Sun God who abused her and mistreated her whenever he desired. This incredible story teaches us, that is, women that we have enough strenghth and power and it is not necessary at all to live with abusers who do not understand our value. It is rather better to have somebody who understands our value and treats us correctly as a partner. Life is a huge journey. During this time, we will obviously come across various people, good and bad, but we must learn to pick out the good ones from the lot. As always, the colour, animation and the beautiful explaination deserves a round of applause! Even if I am not related to the country of orgin of this story or myth, I still learnt something in a pleasurable manner. ❤

The moon goddess Ix Chel patiently watched a spider at work. She could make use of its skills, she thought. Through careful observation and imitation, she soon became a skilled weaver. The sun god Kinich Ahau was impressed with her work and admired her from afar. But the goddess' grandfather was very possessive and would not let the sun god anywhere near his beloved granddaughter. To get past the grandfather, the sun god disguised himself as a hummingbird. As he took a drink of tobacco flower honey, the moon goddess spotted him and asked the grandfather to capture the bird for her. The grandfather shot the disguised sun god with a blow dart, stunning him. Ix Chel nursed the wounded bird back to health, and soon, he was able to spread his wings and fly agains. He transformed back in to the sun god and invited the moon goddess to escape with him. The two rowed away in a canoe, but the grandfather called upon a powerful storm god to help him stop them. Sensing danger, the moon goddess jumped from the canoe into the water below, transformed into a crab. But the storm god had already thrown a lightning bolt which hit the crab and pierced her through her heart, killing her. Hundreds and hundreds of dragonflies gathered, buzzing songs and fluttering their transparent wings. They formed a thick magical cloud over the moon goddess body. For 13 days, the dragonflies cut, clean and hollowed 13 logs. On the 13th night, the logs burst open, and the moon goddess emerged, alive and more brilliant than ever. The sun god wasted no time in proposing marriage. The moon goddess happily agreed. Side-by-side, they were ready to light up the sky with their powerful rays. Unfortunately, the story doesn't end there. The sun god's brother visited often. Sensing he was also in love with Ix Chel, the sun god grew jealous, and began to mistreat her. One day, Ix Chel was sitting on the riverbank, furious at her husband. A huge bird came gliding down and offered to take her to the high mountain peaks. To get away from the cold sun god, she agreed. There, she met the king of the vulture. The vulture king was kind and fun-loving, a much better partner than the violent sun god. The moon goddess made a new home with him in the mountains. When the sun god heard this, he was distraught. He hid into a deer carcass until a hungry vulture came swooping down, then hopped onto its back and rode to the mountain kingdom, where the moon goddess now live with the vulture king. He begged her to come home with him, apologized her how he had treated her. The kind and forgiving goddess took pity on him and agreed to go back. But Kinich Ahau soon began to show his true nature again. He struck her, scarring her face and dimming her bright rays. The goddess flew off into the dark, from then on, she vowed to appear only at night. She befriended the stars and combined her pale blue rays with their rays to guide night travelers to safety. She used her healing gift, with she had once used on the wounded sun god to cure people who were ill. Today, Ix Chel is so widely known that she become a symbol of Maya culture, but archaeological evidence suggests that for ancient Maya, Ix Chel and the moon goddess were separate deities. In the retellings of Maya people, and the records of anthropologists, the two merged so that Ix Chel's story extends beyond the limits of the historical record. Her story, like all myths, isn't just one story: variations, from ancient to modern, speak to what people value and how they see themselves in their mythological heroes.
