History
The snake was a very important social and religious symbol, revered by the Mayans. Mayan mythology describes snakes as vehicles by which celestial bodies, such as the Sun and stars, cross the heavens. Shedding their skin made them a symbol of rebirth and renewal.
They were so revered that one of the main Mesoamerican deities, Quetzalcoatl, was depicted as a feathered serpent. The name means "beautiful serpent" (from the Nahuatl, "quetzalli" meaning beautiful and "coatl" meaning snake or serpent).
The vision serpent is believed to be the most important of the Mayan serpents. "It was usually bearded and had a rounded snout. World Tree. Essentially, the World Tree and the Vision Serpent, representing the king, created the central axis that communicated between the spiritual and earthly worlds or planes. It is through ritual that the king could bring the central axis into existence in the temples and create a gateway to the spiritual world, and with it power."
The vision serpent is prevalent in bloodletting ceremonies, Maya religious practices, Maya jewelry, pottery, and architecture.
