About This Item

The Beast!

The Jaguar was the Master of Animals in Central American mythology and a deity figure in many ancient and greatest cultures like Maya, Olmec, Azteca. The majesty of the Jaguar is constantly seen in many art pieces, which captures the spirituality and intellect of a man and the ferocity and strength of the jaguar. The Mayan word for Jaguar is IX (pronounced eesh). Mayan ancestors believe in the Jaguar’s Wisdom. The principal deity, for Mayas, was an Earth god who took the form of the Jaguar, since his power was not limited to terrestrial matters, this deity supposedly had dominance over all things terrestrial and celestial. The Jaguar was chosen because they believed it was the most powerful, intelligent and feared animal. According to Mayan beliefs, the hidden sun was said to be Jaguar, whose spotted skin symbolized the stars glittering in the night sky. Therefore, it was called the "Jaguar Sun."

We found The Spirit of IX in the same cache with the poor little duck Qwumbs. We felt we needed to take both to keep the two of them apart. We will move this TB along to another cache next week. Tiggrr and Mouse.
