Maya Goddess

Ix Chel is shown here in modern Maya traditional clothing featuring the
astonishing gorgeous handwoven textiles still made in remote areas of
Maya country (mostly modern-day Guatemala). She sits upon a Sky-Bar,
known from Maya glyphs and carvings and used as a symbol of the sky;
figures drawn above or over the Sky-Bar are usually deities, or the
dead. Chak Chel pours water from a jar marked with the glyph for water,
and the color scheme and water critters are taken from the beautiful
Maya-style frescoes found at Cacaxtla, Mexico.

Her Story

Ix Chel, Mayan moon goddess, sometimes called "Lady Rainbow", is often
pictured as a serpent crone wearing a skirt and crossbones. She carries
an upside-down vessel in her hands which represents the nourishing gift
of water, our most essential life giving element. She wears a serpent on
her head representing her transformation from the winter to spring
energy - shedding her winter skin in order to blossom anew into spring
to a new and fresh stage in the life cycle.

Ix Chel is a shape-shifter, consorting with the rabbit in spring
(fertility and life giving abundance). She is at once a maiden (goddess
of fertility and life, protector of women in childbirth), and a crone -
the serpent reflects her status as a wise woman dispensing healing
visions. She is the keeper of the life cycle, goddess of all new life
and keeper of the bones and souls of the dead.
Her Modern Energy: As fertility goddess, her power waxes and wanes with the phases of the
moon, mirroring the fertility cycle in the bodies of women. At this time
when the refreshing energy of spring coincides with a new moon, invoke
Ix Chel's transformational fertile energy to shake off the winter
slumber and launch into spring.

Imagine being nurtured inside Ix Chel's life giving womb, or that
you are wiping the tears of your own inner child's pain. Honour the
burdens and pain, then release them. Prepare to laugh and leap your way
into your new phase of joyful celebration that will come with your
rebirth.
Reconnect With Your Inner IxChel:
Now is the time to celebrate life and love. Renew and affirm your
sensuality, kindle the fire of romance. Make love by the light of a bon
fire, the glow of red candles, or just the full moon's radiance. Dance
with your love in bare feet connecting to the earth. Make a list of
three things that you are going to create or manifest between now and
the next full moon. Let the items on your list be the seeds to help you
germinate a new start for the new phase in this life cycle.

What is the significance of the rabbit in her arms?
comment by jondude on Oct 14, 2010 6:22 AM ()
Ix Chel is a triple goddess, with three forms corresponding to the three phases of the moon. In her first aspect (waxing crescent moon), Ix Chel is the Maiden with flowing hair and full breasts. She holds a rabbit in her arms which symbolizes fertility. In the second (full moon) phase, Ix Chel is depicted as the Mother, a pregnant woman dressed in bright clothes she has woven. Ix Chel's third aspect (waxing moon) is the Crone, wrinkled and hunched, wearing a skirt of crossed bones. She holds an inverted jar from which water pours . A serpent either sits coiled on her head as a headdress or is held in her hand, signifying transformation, just as the snake sheds its skin and emerges renewed.
