Dig into the Maya myth of the moon goddess, Ix Chel, and follow her story as she falls in- and out of- love with the sun god.
--
The sun god was in love with the moon goddess, Ix Chel. But the goddess’ grandfather was very possessive, and would not let the sun god anywhere near his beloved granddaughter. Desperate to be together, they escaped and were ready to light up the sky with their powerful rays. Unfortunately, their love story doesn’t end happily ever after. Cynthia Fay Davis details the Maya myth of Ix Chel.
Lesson by Cynthia Fay Davis, directed by The Animation Project.

Imagine worshipping Satan and never knowing it until you get to heaven. People don’t even know where they get the names of the days of the week, such as Sun (god) day and Moon (god) day. Thursday comes from Thor aka Tammuz. Who’s birthday upon you celebrate Christmas, which FYI has nothing to do with Jesus.

How Ixchel's light was dimmed reminds me of the story of Mayari and Apolaki, the Filipino deities of the moon and sun respectively. In this version of the myth, the siblings fought over who would rule the sky. Apolaki struck Mayari so hard that one of her eyes popped out, dimming her light. Regretting what he did, Apolaki agreed to rule the sky with his sister.

Great art, great morals, and great lessons to learn from this mythology. At the start, I was wondering if it would turn out nicely, given that it seemed like a much nicer version of the Zeus and Hera story (where Zeus transformed himself into a bird to trick Hera into falling in love with him). But it's actually a great moral cautionary tale about how you shouldn't get back together with an abuser. I wasn't expecting such an important lesson in this myth but I was pleasantly surprised!

Ix Chel is easily one of my favorite goddesses, and has been since I was a kid. There's an important bit that this retelling left out! In addition to typical 'moon goddess' stuff (being a goddess of healing, and fertility) Ix Chel is also supposed to be a fierce defender of women. Those who are dealing with an abusive spouse/partner are supposed to be able to turn to her for protection, and she defends women and children with an unwavering fierceness. Absolutely, indescribably pleased to see her story here!!! I love it when you guys post myths from Mesoamerica!

Maya, the moon goddess was powerful but, she went back to the Sun God who abused her and mistreated her whenever he desired. This incredible story teaches us, that is, women that we have enough strenghth and power and it is not necessary at all to live with abusers who do not understand our value. It is rather better to have somebody who understands our value and treats us correctly as a partner. Life is a huge journey. During this time, we will obviously come across various people, good and bad, but we must learn to pick out the good ones from the lot. As always, the colour, animation and the beautiful explaination deserves a round of applause! Even if I am not related to the country of orgin of this story or myth, I still learnt something in a pleasurable manner. ❤

For an instant, I forgot everything about the chaos in the world outside and I just wondered about the fate of Ix Chel. I miss listening stories like this.
