MESOAMERICAN DOGS PART TWO

July 1, 2019July 14, 2019Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on MESOAMERICAN DOGS PART TWO

By Kirby Vickery on the July 2019 Edition The dog figures prominently in Mesoamerican Folklore so much so that in many versions of the 20-day cycle of the Mesoamerican calendar, the tenth day bears the name “dog”. This is Itzcuintli in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, Tz’i’ in the K’iche’ Maya language and Oc in […]

MESOAMERICAN DOGS PART ONE

June 1, 2019June 10, 2019Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on MESOAMERICAN DOGS PART ONE

By Kirby Vickery on the June 2019 Edition I own a Cairn Terrier whose breed purports to be from Scotland and, even though there are histories that support this thesis, there are internet sites about Scottish dog breeds which deny her existence. My other dog is a ‘Mostly.’ She’s a rescued dog but doesn’t hold the […]

The Wonderful World of ChocolatL

May 1, 2019June 11, 2019Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on The Wonderful World of ChocolatL

By Kirby Vickery on the May 2019 Edition Whenever the subject of what the New World gave to the Old World comes up, one of the first things that gets listed is corn or ‘maize’ as its known down here. What it looked like, and consisted of, back in the days before 1492, is a far […]

By Kirby Vickery the April 2019 Edition Have you ever been to ruins of Uxmal? Have you noticed the many turtle motifs and wondered what kind of a relationship the Mayans had with this particular animal? The turtle figures prominently in the Mayan Creation Myth, as transcribed from the Popol Vuh. The god of corn, […]

Owls in Mesoamerican Mythology

March 1, 2019March 11, 2019Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on Owls in Mesoamerican Mythology

By Kirby Vickery from the March 2019 Edition In December 2017, I published an article about the Aztec Owl. It focused on the historical data available of relationship with the Aztec and the Owl. My problem, at the time, was that I couldn’t find a story connected with the owl as the protagonist. There wasn’t […]

Mayan Folklore

February 1, 2019February 22, 2019Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on Mayan Folklore

By Kirby Vickery from the February 2019 Edition When I get into any Mesoamerican mythology, the first thing I latch onto is a tribe’s, or (to borrow a Canadian term) First Nation’s creation story. They are often full of woe, hardship, blood, war, guts, and death. It is as if all these most powerful gods […]

 By Kirby Vickery  from the January 2019 Edition A Mayan Myth This story is found in the middle of the Popol Vuh but is considered to be a Mayan myth all to itself. In the story of the creation of the earth and the sky, after the stick people were all destroyed and just before […]

Popol Vuh

December 1, 2018January 16, 2019Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on Popol Vuh

   By Kirby Vickery from the December 2018 Edition I have to tell you that Popol Vuh is the most intriguing piece of Mesoamerican literature I have ever looked into. The original has been lost in time, partly because it was handed down from father to son for generations before finally being written down, even […]

The First New World Civilization

August 1, 2018August 19, 2018Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on The First New World Civilization

By Kirby Vickery  from the August 2018 Edition I have given the readers of the Manzanillo Sun over four years of Aztec Mythology and have been thinking that it might possibly be an interesting endeavor to branch, not only into their real lifestyle, but that of the Mexican peoples, from as far back as I can […]
