Mesoamerican Histories

May 1, 2021May 13, 2021Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on Mesoamerican Histories

By Kirby Vickery on the May 2021 Edition The Manzanillo Sun Magazine was created by a wonderful lady by the name of Freda Rumford for her son and herself for something to do. When I married Freda, she found out that I liked to write and asked if I would ‘do’ an article for the Sun. […]

Where Did They Come From?

May 1, 2021May 13, 2021Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on Where Did They Come From?

By Kirby Vickery on the May 2021 Edition In my opinion, the world kind of paints the Aztecs as a Johnny-Come-Lately Mesoamerican warrior race. I suppose they were to some degree. They were very gifted in battle because they had the finest warriors for one primary reason. I believe that reason was their belief and practice […]

How the Oocho’ Got His Tail

April 1, 2021April 18, 2021Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on How the Oocho’ Got His Tail

By Kirby Vickery on the April 2021 Edition During the days of the Creation the Oocho’, better known to-day as the Fox that looked quite a bit different than he does today. His shape was a lot like a weasel’s, and he had a weasel’ s tail, which was rather short and skimpy with no distinction […]

A Mayan Rabbit Story

March 1, 2021April 2, 2021Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on A Mayan Rabbit Story

By Kirby Vickery on the March 2021 Edition I have found that when I dig into the internet, which is my main source of information and stories these days, you can find just about any kind of a story to fit just about any situation. You can also find those that don’t seem to relate to […]

The Twins’ Ball Game

February 1, 2021February 18, 2021Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on The Twins’ Ball Game

By Kirby Vickery on the February 2021 Edition In ancient times, when there were no clocks and time passed slowly and nothing mattered because life was slow and comfortable. The people’s duties in this time were few and not time consuming and so they would look for recreational activities. Jun aj Pu and Ix B’alam Kej, […]

Mayan Holidays

January 1, 2021February 17, 2021Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on Mayan Holidays

By Kirby Vickery on the January 2021 Edition Have you ever taken a step back when either attending (word used which is better than ‘visiting’ or ‘climbing’ or even ‘driving by’) a Mayan temple or ruin and wondered how the ordinary Mayan people lived? I’ve been writing about Mesoamericans cultures for several years now and have […]

The Toltecs

December 1, 2020February 17, 2021Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on The Toltecs

By Kirby Vickery on the December 2020 Edition If you get into Mesoamerican history, you’ll find a time rich in folklore and sociological color. You will also find lots of warring, fighting, sacrifice, both animal and human, and a continuation of mythological beliefs that carry from one dominant society to the next. There is an area […]

The Day of the Dead

November 1, 2020February 17, 2021Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on The Day of the Dead

By Kirby Vickery on the November 2020 Edition I find it intriguing that two cultures could put together ceremonies to be celebrated at the same time during a year and dealing with the same aspects, more or less similar ceremonious methodologies, and reason for a festival, one not having any concept of the other’s existence and […]

Monkey Twins

October 1, 2020February 17, 2021Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on Monkey Twins

By Kirby Vickery on the October 2020 Edition In the past, I’ve talked about the “Ball Game” and its importance to the Mayan and Aztec people. And, while looking back over the various issues of The Manzanillo Sun, I seem to be painting a rather bland and warlike picture of the Mesoamerican cultures and their lifestyles. […]

Tezcatlipoca

September 1, 2020February 17, 2021Kirby VickeryLeave a Comment on Tezcatlipoca

By  Kirby Vickery on the September 2020 Edition Tezcatlipoca (Fiery Mirror) was undoubtedly the Jupiter of the Nahua pantheon. He carried a mirror or shield, from which he took his name, and in which he was supposed to see reflected the actions and deeds of humankind. The evolution of this god, from the status of […]
