Mayan Goddesses, Ruins, Cozumel


Ancient Sea coast, mayan mystery

The Mayans associated human events with the phases of the moon. The principal God of the Moon was Itzamna, his wife, the goddess Ixchel: moon, healing, childbirth, fertility.
Cozumel B&B

San Gervasio was dedicated to the Mayan goddess Ixchel, deity of fertility. A graceful arch protects an altar on an ancient road leading into the ceremonial center. Among the Maya of the Yucatan this was the name of the snake goddess of water, moon, childbirth and weaving who took the sun as her lover and spent her energies in taking special care of those who visited her sacred island - Cozumel.
