Xibalba - Word of the Day
Xibalba, jeeze I love this word. I mean, I just might get this tattooed on my forehead.
Xibalba is one of the Mayan mythical worlds, this one is not a happy place. I dont get the impression that its like most hell’s where you automatically go there when you die if not another place like heaven, it seems to be just another place they really dont want to ever go cause they’re gonna be FOOOKED! Some great wiki qoutes:
Roughly translated as “Place of fear”, its the name of the underworld, ruled by Mayan spirits of disease and death…
…It is unclear if the inhabitants of Xibalba are the souls of the deceased or a separate race of beings worshiping death, but they are often depicted as being human-like in form… The first among the Lords of Xibalba were One Death and Seven Death. The remaining ten Lords are often referred to as demons and are given commission and domain over various forms of human suffering: to cause sickness, starvation, fear, destitution, pain, and ultimately death. The remaining residents of Xibalba are thought to have fallen under the dominion of one of these Lords, going about the face of the Earth to carry out their listed duties…
…the Road to Xibalba was filled with obstacles: first a river filled with scorpions, a river filled with blood, and then a river filled with pus.
I mean, how friggin coolis that?!??! A river of pus!
