Worship Ixchel as our Patron God

Ixchel was the aged jaguar goddess of midwifery and medicine, known by that name in sixteenth-century Yucatán. Bishop Diego de Landa called her the goddess of making children and of medicine.

In the month of Zip, physicians and shamans celebrated her feast, Ihcil Ixchel, bringing out divination stones and medicine bundles that held little idols of her. Scholars equate her with the Aztec goddess Toci.
