Chaak

He is the axe-wielding lord of the rain and lightning, whose four manifestations guard the corners of the sky to pour life onto the parched maize fields. With his reptilian face and weeping eyes, he strikes the clouds to produce thunder, reminding the world that growth always requires a violent spark. Why do we fear the storm when it is the only thing that can quench the thirst of the burning earth? He is the patron of the farmers, the one who transforms the dry dust into the emerald green of the harvest.
