Ixchel Crone

Mayan "Old Goddess of the Tiger Claws."

Ixchel's hurricanes wash over the Earth and permit new growth, in the same way that our tears of emotion reopen us to a sense of wholeness.

Pictured in this statue, she embodies the healing power that ancient cultures attributed to wise elder women.

[From a Codex, c. 1650 CE.]
