Ixchel
(pronounced Ish-shell) is the Mayan goddess of the moon, childbirth, healing
and weaving. To the ancient Mayan culture of Central America, the the phases of
the moon were associated with the cycles of humans. The Mayan's God of the Moon,
Itzamna, was married to the powerful Goddess Ixchel.
Ixchel
is the protector of women in childbirth and a Goddess of medicine. She is also
the Goddess of weaving and is often shown sitting peacefully at a loom. Her animal
is the dragonfly. Call on Ixchel when you wish to express and inspire your creativity.
She makes women fruitful and sends rain to the earth.
