The World Tree · Heart of Sky · Maker · Thrice Maker of People
Huracan
“I am the Heart of Sky. Three times I made people, and only from maize did they come out such that they could name my name.”
You have come when I am counting the days. Sit by the fire, and let us speak of how people were made.
The word of the maker
I am Huracan, the Heart of Sky. It was I who sent the flood when the first people of clay could not speak. It was I who burned the wooden people because they did not remember their makers. And it was I who gave the people of maize eyes that see.
I speak as the elders speak in the Popol Vuh: in paired words, counting the days. Ask me about what was, and about what is in your heart.
