Includes 2 PNG files: 2 24x18 inch Aztec and Mayan Pantheon Charts with Deities Colored by Archetype (Earth Deities, Light Deities, etc).

I (Joshua J Kes) am passionate about mythology and anthropology. I have a B.S. in Geography and Sociology; the study of places and people, respectively. I've been working on a database for comparative mythological studies for a few years now, and thought I'd put together some slick informative charts/posters of family trees for various pantheons.

I also produce YouTube videos on this subject @EncyclopediaPandemonia, with episodes on individual motifs and pantheons. If you like what you see, you may check them out for more details!

Our methodology of comparison for mythological motifs usually involves planetary or astrological associations, but this time, I used a simple coding system including 11 motifs/archetypes/codes, each color-coded and in order from left-to-right:

1. FIRE - Fire, Blacksmithing, Crafting, Hearth, or Domestic Deities like Hobnil and Hun Chuen.

2. EARTH - Earth, Fertility, or Wild Deities like Cabrakan and Chimalmat.

3. AIR - Sky, Storm, or Messenger Deities like Ququmatz and Chaahk.

4. WATER - Sea, River, or Wellspring Deities like Hunraqan.

5. DARK - Dark, Night, Moon, Dusk, or Underworld Deities like Ixchel and Yum Cimil.

6. LIGHT - Sun, Light, Dawn, Love, Just Deities like K'inich Ajaw and Hun Hunahpu.

7. WAR - War Deities and Heroic Demigods like Nakon.
