Numerous gods were associated with love, fertility, and marriage in the Mayan culture. Itzamna, Kukulcan, and Kinich Ohau were just some of the gods. They were often depicted as young women who seduced the Goddess of Moon. For love and fertility, the Mayans may have made pilgrimages towards these gods.
Kukulcan
Kukulcan is a Mayan god who created rain. Mayans believed that the rain Kukulcan brought would cleanse the Earth. This god was often depicted as a giant serpent with a head capable of sweep the entire land. Kukulcan's head has been replaced with that of Mayan warriors. Kukulcan is still an important symbol of Mexico's indigenous cultural legacy.
Itzamna
Itzamna, the Mayan god, was credited for bringing scientific advances to the ancient Maya. He was a powerful force whose power combined elements from the heavens, earth, and underworld. He was also considered the god of medicine. Itzamna was worshiped in Maya culture during the postclassic period. During this time, many people were suffering from disease and other illnesses.
Kinich Ahau
Kinich Ahau is the Maya sun god. This name was used for the first time in the 16th Century by the Yucatec people from Central Mexico. Sometimes, it is referred to in the Maya codices as "God G". The Classic period's Maya sun god is often depicted as a middle-aged man, usually with an aquiline nose, large eyes, and square features. His upper teeth were filed.
Ix Chel
Ix Chel is a fertility goddess believed to have the power and ability to cause great floods. She is believed to have created the special spindle at central of the universe by controlling the water in an upside-down vessel. Although her classical glyph is not known, Aztec mythology has the corresponding deities. She was also associated in some way with the Moon and waters, jaguars, and spiders.
Buluc Chabtan
Buluc Chabtan the Mayan god was the god for violence and war. He is frequently seen with a flint sword or a torch. The Mayans also called him "God F." He is associated with violent death and human sacrifice. Some depict him being surrounded with maggots. His image represents a powerful symbol of a god's ability to overcome violence. He was worshiped by the Mayans to win war.
Ek Chuah
Ek Chuah, a Mayan god, was one of the most important Mayan divinities. He was the patron of cacao and a major source of energy. His images can be seen in hieroglyphics from several Maya sites. These images depict him defeating evil and causing havoc. He was a Maya god of significant importance, but his role in everyday life is still a matter of debate.
Ek Chuaj's benevolent side
Mayan Gods are often dual-natured. Ek Chuaj (the Mayan God who made cacao) was also the Mayan Goddess of war, destruction and chaos. So, Ek Chuaj was often seen with a lance and other weapons. The Maya believed cacao was a delicacy. However, cacao was also a form of currency.
