Hooboy. When these guys do anything other than fly their private jets to resorts with five-star hotels, talk to me.

Lord and Lady Begin To Dance Festival During this Mayan festival in the honor of Ixchel: the goddess of the Moon, beehives, fertility, medicine and weaving, a beautiful young woman was chosen by craftsmen and artisans to represent the goddess. This young woman was sacrificed by the priests and flayed. Her skin was worn by a man who sat at a loom and pretended to weave, while the craftsmen danced around him in animal costumes. The ceremony was then completed when the worshippers engaged in bloodletting and then had a ritual bath. http://www.naomistolow.com/travelogue/maya_sacrifice.html
I especially enjoyed the blogger's comment following the above remarks.
To our modern sensibilities, this seems unbearably cruel, but to the ancient Maya, the offering of blood and life seemed to be the only suitable gift for their gods, for had not the gods themselves given their own lives to create the world? Once again, we cannot judge another age with the values of our own; only observe....and learn.

How apropos to pray to a goddess to whom they probably sacrificed humans.
Also, the earth won’t be destroyed by water, but by fire. Ouch. Glad I won’t be on it, and looking forward to the new one.

Worshipping the creation, rather than the Creator...

1.You shall have no other gods before me.
2.You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

An “Ixchel” by any other name is still an “Ashoreth.”
