Ah Puch: God of Death - Part 3: Crossing the threshold to Xibalba
The journey into the depths of Xibalba begins at the sacred cenotes, the gateways between the living world and the underworld. These sacred pools are not mere bodies of water; they are portals steeped in spiritual significance. As souls approach the cenote, they are often guided by the spirits of their ancestors, who assist them in navigating the treacherous waters. This guidance reflects the Mayan belief in the interconnectedness of the living and the dead.
