Lore
Ixtab is the Maya goddess of suicide, depicted with a rope around her neck, guiding the souls of those who died by hanging to a paradisiacal afterlife. In Maya belief, suicide was not condemned but seen as not a path to honor, and Ixtab served as a compassionate escort for these souls, offering peace and rest. Her presence reflects Maya views on death as a transition rather than punishment, and she was invoked in rituals for those who took their own lives, symbolizing mercy and the acceptance of suffering in the cycle of existence.
