¿Sabían que el Xibalbá no era considerado un lugar de castigo eterno similar al infierno, sino un reino de transformación necesario para el ciclo de la vida?
En la mitología de la cultura maya quiché, el nombre Xibalbá se traduce directamente como el Lugar del Miedo o Lugar del Susto. El libro sagrado del Popol Vuh describe detalladamente que este mundo subterráneo estaba gobernado por 12 deidades de la muerte y la enfermedad, conocidos como los Señores de Xibalbá, bajo el mando principal de Hun-Camé y Vucub-Camé. El camino para ingresar a este reino estaba lleno de obstáculos físicos peligrosos, ríos de sangre y de agua, así como casas de tormento específicas, entre las que destacaban la Casa Oscura y la Casa del Frío.
A diferencia de las creencias religiosas traídas de Europa, los antiguos habitantes de la península de Yucatán no veían este espacio subterráneo como un destino de condena para los pecadores. Para la cosmovisión maya, el paso por las 9 regiones del inframundo era una ruta que casi todas las almas debían recorrer durante un periodo de 5 años para purificarse antes de alcanzar el descanso o renacer. Las entradas físicas a este plano sagrado se ubicaban en las profundidades de la selva, utilizando las cuevas y los más de 7000 cenotes de la región como portales directos hacia el inframundo, lugares donde los arqueólogos modernos han descubierto ofrendas de cerámica y restos óseos que confirman la realización de rituales antiguos.
Ahora bien, para todos los amantes de la música y las producciones independientes, es altamente recomendado seguir la cuenta oficial de @Xibalba dentro del Fediverso. Un espacio y proyecto de @Fando que funciona como un excelente difusor de la cultura sonora mexicana, dedicándose por completo a compartir y dar visibilidad a un programa radiofónico enfocado exclusivamente en la música hecha en México 🇲🇽 de diversos géneros y épocas.
Las transmisiones se pueden sintonizar en vivo todos los días martes en punto de las 12:00 de la tarde, tomando como referencia el horario del centro de la Ciudad de México, lo que equivale a la zona horaria internacional UTC/GMT -6 horas. Seguir este proyecto y a su creador es una excelente manera de conocer nuevas propuestas musicales, conectar con las tradiciones y apoyar los espacios de radio independiente.

Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·Xibalba
Xibalba roughly translates to “place of fright.”
This is the K’iche’ (A Mayan language of the K’iche’ people of the central highlands of Guatemala & Mexico) named the Underworld in a Maya(n) mythology. The underworld is known as Mitnal in Yucatec, a Mayan language spoken in the Yucatan Peninsula.
In the 16th century, Verapaz, the entrance to Xibalba, was traditionally held to be a cave in the area of Cabon, Guatemala. Cave systems in nearby Belize have also been referred to as the entrance to Xibalba. In some Mayan areas, the Milky Way is viewed as the road to Xibalba.
Xibalba is described in the Popol Vuh (A text recounting the mythology & history of the K’iche’ people of Guatemala. This is 1 of the Maya peoples who also inhabit Mexican states) as a court below the surface of the earth associated with death & with 12 gods, or powerful rulers, known as the Lords of Xibalba.
The 1st among the Mayan death gods ruling Xibalba were: Hun-Came (“One Death”) & Vucub-Came (“Seven Death”). Though Hun-Came is the elder of the 2.
The remaining 10 Lords are often referred to as demons & are given commission & domain over diverse forms of human suffering: to cause sickness, starvation, fear, destitution, pain, & ultimately death.
These Lords work in pairs: Xiquiripat (“Flying Scab”) & Cuchumaquix (“Gathered Blood”), who sickens people’s blood. Ahalpuh (“Pus Demon”) & Ahalgana (“Jaundice Demon”), who cause people’s bodies to swell up. Chamiabac (“Bone Staff”) & Ahalttcob (“Stabbing Demon”), who hide in the unswept areas of people’s homes & stab them to death. Xic (“Wing”) & Patan (“Pack strap”), who cause people to die coughing up blood while out walking on a road.
The remaining residents of Xibalba are thought to have fallen under the dominion of 1 of these Lords, going about the face of the Earth to carry out their listed duties.
Xibalba was a large palace, & several individual structures located within Xibalba are described or mentioned in the Popol Vuh. Chief among these was the council place of the Lords, the 5 or 6 houses that served as the 1st tests of Xibalba, & the Xibalba ball court. Also mentioned are the homes of the Lords, gardens, & other structures, indicating that Xibalba was at least a great city.
Xibalba seems to be rife with tests, trials, & traps for anyone who comes into the city. Even the roads to Xibalba were filled with obstacles: 1st, a river filled with scorpions, a river filled with blood, & then a river filled with pus.
Beyond these was a crossroads where travellers had to choose from among 4 roads that spoke in an attempt to confuse & beguile. Upon passing these obstacles, 1 would come upon the Xibalba council place where it was expected visitors would greet the seated Lords.
Realistic mannequins were seated near the Lords to confuse & humiliate people who greeted them, & the confused would then be invited to sit up on a bench, which was actually a hot cooking surface. The Lords of Xibalba would entertain themselves by humiliating people in this fashion before sending them into 1 of Xibalba’s deadly tests.
The city was home to at least 6 deadly houses filled with trials for visitors. The 1st was the Dark House, a house that was completely dark inside. The 2nd was the Rattling House/Cold House, full of bone-chilling cold & rattling hail. The 3rd was the Jaguar House, filled with hungry jaguars. Tht 4th was the Bat House, filled with dangerous shrieking bats. The 5th was the Razor House, filled with blades & razors that moved about of their own accord. In another part of the Popol Vuh, a 6th test, the Hot House, was filled with fires & heat, is identified. The purpose of these trials/tests was to either kill or humiliate people placed into them if they couldn’t outwit the test.
Xibalba was home of a famous ballcourt in which the heroes of the Popol Vuh succumbed to the trickery of the demons in the form of a deadly, bladed ball, as well as the site in which the Mayan Hero Twins outwitted the gods & brought about their downfall.
According to the Popol Vuh, the residents of Xibalba at 1 point enjoyed the worship of the people on the surface of the Earth who offered human sacrifice to the gods of death.
Over the span of time covered in the Popol Vuh, the gods of Xibalba are tricked & finally humiliated into accepting lesser offerings from above by the Maya Twins, who got superpowers after they were burnt & their ashes thrown into a magical river.
The role of Xibalba & its inhabitants after their great defeat at the hands of the Hero Twins is unclear. Although it seems to have continued its existence a dark place of the underworld long after.

Oggi è #BandcampFriday. È quindi il momento più propizio per supportare i musicisti e compositori di nicchia -- quelli che fanno musica per la musica; quelli che, come diceva Zappa, non hanno alcun potenziale commerciale.
Tra questi ci sono anche io. Faccio musica "strana", non convenzionale, che nasce dentro di me per un bisogno personale di esprimere liberamente quel che musicalmente "sono". Ne vien fuori un misto di jazz, elementi neoclassici, avant-pop. Se vi va di ascoltarne qualcosa, ecco il mio ultimo lavoro, "K'ux":
https://eidon.bandcamp.com/album/kux

Ecco il mio ultimo lavoro, K'ux. Sedici brani per il mio sedicesimo album. Un misto di jazz, musica neoclassica e avant-pop. Spero che vi piaccia quanto è piaciuto a me comporlo.
“K'ux si riferisce al cuore come alla fonte dello 'spirito vitale' di una cosa, o ciò che le dà vita. Secondo il dizionario di Coto, si ritiene che sia anche il centro del pensiero e dell'immaginazione”. (Popol Vuh: Libro Sacro del Popolo Quiché Maya, di AJ Christenson)

Christianity was formally established in Guatemala in 1534 under Bishop Francisco Marroquín, who sent out priests with portable altars to the various highland Maya towns and
villages in an effort to baptize the indigenous population and to destroy any remnants of “idolatry” that they might find. Ancient temples, as well as the carved and painted images which they contained, were systematically destroyed, their stones used to build Christian churches. Missionaries singled out hieroglyphic codices for destruction in an effort to protect
the Indians from their former religious beliefs. Alonso de Zorita wrote that in 1540 he saw numerous such books in the Guatemalan highlands which “recorded their history for more
than eight hundred years back, and which were interpreted for me by very ancient Indians”
(Zorita 1963, 271-2).Fr. Bartolomé de las Casas lamented that when found, such books were
destroyed:These books were seen by our clergy, and even I saw part of those which were burned by the monks, apparently because they thought [they] might harm the Indians in matters
concerning religion, since at that time they were at the beginning of their conversion. (Las Casas 1958, 346)Popol Vuh: Sacred Book of the Quiché Maya People
