Worship K'awiil as our Patron God

K'awiil was the Maya god of power, creation and lightning, shown with a long snout and one leg ending in a snake. Rain gods carried him as a lightning axe, and rulers held him as a scepter.

At Palenque, rulers and nobles hold infant forms of K'awiil in the stucco reliefs of the Temple of the Inscriptions, and the infant god was one of the city's three patron deities. In sixteenth-century Yucatán he was known as Bolon Dzacab.
