Ixchel
Ixchel (the moon) was the lover of the Sun, but he became jealous of his brother, the morning star, accusing them of being lovers. He threw Ixchel out of the heavens and she took refuge with the vulture divinity. The Sun followed her and lured her back home once more, only to become jealous again. Ixchel, understandably tired of the sun's actions, left him and wandered through the heavens as she wished, becoming invisible if the sun came near her. Ixchel is identical with Spider Woman, the Creatrix worshiped widely by North American native peoples and shows many similarities with the Aztec goddess Chalchihuitlicue. She is normally represented as a gnarled, somewhat ominous old woman, with a medusa-like hairdo and a bone skirt. She is portrayed with a snake as a head-band and her skirt is embroidered with crossbones. |
