Biography
| Ixchel was the Moon Goddess in Mayan culture and also known as the Goddess of Fertility and the wife of Ahau-Kin
Ixchel was almost too beautiful, this girl with opalescent skin who sat in the skies brushing her shimmering hair for hours on end. All the gods were captivated by her. All but one, that is.
Ahau-Kin, the Sun God, seemed immune to Ixchel’s charms. Yet he was the only one she really ever wanted. For years she had longed for him as she watched him glide across the sky in all his golden splendor.
But the more Ixchel followed him around, the worse the weather on earth became. As she chased after him the tides would rise, creating floods that inundated the fields and caused the crops to die. So enamored was she, that Ixchel did not even notice the havoc she was causing.
Like many moon goddesses Ixchel was a fine weaver, and it was the beautiful cloth she wove that finally captured Ahau-Kin’s attention. Soon they had become lovers.
Ix-Chel bore the Sun God four sons. They were the jaguar gods and could creep through the night unseen. They were named for the four directions, and each one was responsible for holding up his corner of the sky.
Unfortunately Ix-chel’s love affair with the Sun God drew the ire of her disapproving grandfather. In his anger he struck Ixchel with lightning, killing her. For the next 183 days she lay lifeless as hundreds of dragonflies surrounded her body and sang to her. Waking suddenly, she returned to the palace of the Sun God.
Their relationship was turbulent—Ahau-Kin had a suspicious nature and was often consumed with jealousy. To make matters worse, he also had a fiery temper. Suspecting that the innocent Ixchel was having an affair with his brother (the Morning Star), Ahau-Kin threw her out of the sky.
Ixchel quickly found refuge with the vulture gods. Hearing this, Ahau-Kin rushed to plead with her to return and promised never to treat her so poorly again. Little time passed before he became jealous and abusive again.
Finally Ixchel realized he was not going to change. She decided to leave him for good. Waiting until he fell asleep, she crept out into the night, taking the form of a jaguar and becoming invisible whenever he came searching for her.
Many nights she spent on her sacred island (Cozumel) nursing women during their pregnancies and childbirth. Ixchel, like other moon goddesses, governed women’s reproductive systems so it was quite understandable that she would become the protector of women during pregnancy and labor.
The small Isla Mujeres (“Island of Women”) was devoted to the worship of Ixchel. Comfortable with all phases of life, she was honored as the weaver of the life cycle. She protected the fertility of women and was also the keeper of the souls of the dead.
Ixchel encourages us to acknowledge the negative forces affecting our lives. And she prompts us to assert ourselves fully in the face of physical or emotional violence that would diminish our sense of self.
