Delicious post! I enjoyed reading it incredibly. As you say: history, the past, defines us, @honeydue and there is a thread that links each of these characters and all the myths of creation. In one way or another you have touched other cultures, from the same moment that many of the images or gods you have referred to in your work have their counterpart in other mythologies. Only the names change, the image, but the meaning remains. For example, Ah Cimih was in Mayan mythology the god and king of Xibalbá, the underworld. Described as a skeleton or corpse with a jaguar face adorned with bells. Buluc Chabtan was the god of war and human sacrifice. And so... My ancestors are indigenous Cumanagoto and I always heard a story that told how every day the gods of heaven fight so that we can live: The god of death is darkness and the god of life is linked to the sun. Legend has it that when it is day and it gets dark, the god of death is winning the battle and that is when the god of life cries (it rains) so that we can wake up. Thanks to you for reminding me of those foundational stories and @adsactly for publishing quality material. Hugs
