Ixchel:
Medicine Woman
The Mayan Moon Goddess. Ixchel is associated with fertility
and childbirth. She’s a powerful healer who many go to when in need of physical
and emotional healing.Message from Ixchel: ...
“Commanding power is not the same as demanding it. Demanding comes from a childlike place akin to a tantrum, based upon the fear that it might be withheld. Commanding comes from the sure and steady knowledge that you are part of the Great Spirit’s grace and wisdom. You are a lightening rod that can conduct the power. Simply connect to the power through unyielding clarity of your thought processes. Don’t waver for a moment: be a conduit of the power that already resides within you!
Connect to Divine Spirit and allow it to amplify YOU.
You are a steady connector of the Infinite, from the Infinite, to the Infinite. In other words, it’s all Spirit: around you, through you”.
(adapted from Doreen Virtue’s Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards)
In the early 16th century, Maya women seeking health and
fertility would travel to the sanctuary of Ix Chel on the island of Cozumel,
the most important place of pilgrimage after Chichen Itza. To the north of
Cozumel is a mu...ch smaller island baptized by its Spanish discoverer,
Hernández de Córdoba, the 'Island of Women' (Isla Mujeres) because of the idols
he found there, of the goddesses of the country, Ixchel, Ixchebeliax, Ixhunie,
Ixhunieta.
Ixchel has many symbols, including the serpent.
Serpents swallow their prey whole, and that is big magic. In this act, the serpent illustrates the potential of metamorphosis. Serpents are also associated with the sky in Mayan wisdom. In fact, we see countless depictions of snakes with feathered wings in ancient ruins. With their connection with the sky, serpents are divine and in this way, they are also connected with water because rain falls from the skies, and snakes are sky creatures. Transformation, Initiation, Divine Communication. All three of these themes are germane to Ixchel's many roles in the community. In short, the serpent of Ixchel is a Mayan symbol of complete alteration of the mind, body and spirit. (text adaptation from http://www.whats-your-sign.com/mayan-symbols-of-ixchel.html)
