mayan cacao GOD NOT GODDESS - Ixcacao cacao goddess a VERY recent myth?
I WAS VERY SURPRISED AFTER CREATING WHOLE CACAO BEAN-HONEY BARS IN 2005
TO SEE ON THE INTERNET AND ON A CHOCOLATE SUGAR BAR MADE IN ANTIGUA GUATEMALA THE NAME IXCACAO AND ALLEGING HER TO BE A CACAO GODESS.I WOULD WELCOME ANY PROOF BUT MY YEARS AS AN ANCIENT MAYA CULTURE ENTHUSIAST HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT ANY GOD ASSOCIATED WITH CACAO IS MALE ALTHOUGH A RARELY SEE HIM GIVEN A SPECIFIC NAME - (Ek Chuah ?)
Below the vase with an alleged male cacao god on it in relief may well be a cacao god effigy because of the non human frog like feet who literally has cacao pods surrounding if not growing from him......It appears to me that someone made up the cacao goddess Ixcacao from nothing in very recent times because they in their 'wisdom' thought the thought of a cacao goddess sounded better than the probasble real history of Maya people not having a female cacao goddess.

CACAO AND THE CHOCOLATE GOD
 Cacao grows in very moist tropical environments, usually under the high canopy of rainforest. Dried, roasted cacao was ground into chocolate powder and blended with chili, maize gruel, honey, and water to make the most valued beverage of ancient Mexico. Cacao beans became a kind of currency; the white shell replicas from a Maya tomb provided cash for the afterlife.
According to the Popol Vuh, the Maya creation myth that was written down in the sixteenth century, maize and cacao were both discovered when the god K’awiil hurled a lightning bolt at a mountain, breaking it in two and revealing the two plants growing inside. Cacao and maize are therefore closely linked in Maya mythology. The Chocolate God may even have been a special aspect of the Maize God, or perhaps his brother.
| MAYA GODS
The Maya worshiped hundreds of gods. Many could appear old or young, in human or animal form. Before we could read Mayan writing we did not know their names, so a scholar in the nineteenth century called them God A, God B, and so on. Some are still known that way.
 Maize GodNo god was more important to the Maya than the Maize God. He is the ideal of beauty, always handsome and young. His head tapers like an ear of corn, and his hair flows like corn silk . The slightest breeze rustles the leaves--and the Maize God dances. Corn’s cycle of planting, growth, harvesting, and replanting is the cycle of life itself--birth, death, rebirth. Itzamna (God D) ruled the sky and was one of the creators. He is usually considered the chief god, and according to Maya legend he invented writing. He is shown as an old man with distinctive square eyes and a squinty gaze.
Chak Chel was the patron of women, a weaver (with cotton skeins tied in her hair) but also a warrior. Her name means "great" or “red rainbow,” but don’t think that is a lucky omen--the Maya saw rainbows as dangerous signs from the underworld.
 Moon GoddessWomen also prayed to a young Moon Goddess. You’ll see her sitting in the curve of a crescent moon, holding a rabbit. The Maya don’t see an old man in the face of the moon--they see a rabbit! So do other people in Mesoamerica and Native Americans of the southwestern United States--and the Chinese and Japanese. K'awiil (God K) was a god of lightning, with one snake foot. Because he also was a protector of royal lines, you'll often find him on kings' scepters.
Chaak, a god of rain, played an important role in sacrifice. The bloodshed in sacrifice was as necessary to nourish the gods and the earth as rain was. You’ll recognize Chaak by his reptile-like face, with a down-turned snout and large fangs.
K’inich Ahaw, the sun, was also an old god. Look for a hooked nose and a curling mark on his cheek. His dangerous, nighttime self was the Jaguar God of the Underworld. In climates where the sun is harsh and drought a danger, sun gods are feared.
