Today is 1 Rainstorm, Hun Kawok, the day of Chac, the Mayan god of rain and war; Tlaloc is the Aztec name for this deity. This 13-day trecena ends with 13 Batz/Monkey/Thread on March 17, 2014, St. Patrick’s Day.
Masks of the rain god Chac adorn the walls of several temples at Chichen Itza and many other Yucatec temple sites. His elephant-like curly snout is unmistakable. He is a manifestation of First-Father, the Heart-of-the-Sky named Hurricane (a tripartite figure) in the Popol Vuh. He was in the etheric waters with Plumed-Serpent before the creation of the world. Together they thought up trees and then the Earth and its creatures, but their work could not be complete until there were humans to speak the praises of their Creators.
It wasn’t easy to create humans. There were several failed attempts, and if we don’t make the proper ceremonies, we may be just another “attempt.”
Now that we are beyond the pivot point that was Dec. 12, 2012, we are what we should be, the way our True Divine “Source” energy has created us. We are obliged to respond.
Chac also manifests in Maya cosmology as the primordial Cauac-monster, a god of lightning and stones from which the spirits of the Underworld return. Kawil the serpent-footed god is another character related to Chac and Cauac energies.
