Ah Puch: Rotting Mayan Underworld God
Ah Puch is a force to be reckoned with, his stories keeping travellers on their paths. You don't forget the first time he appears to you...
Ah Puch (Cizin) makes me wish I could draw.
He is a tall rotting corpse that is somehow still incredibly majestic at the same time.
If Ah Puch were a metal it would be steel, colour - black. He is an ally who will cause you to take a step back when he first appears as he does not retract his energy for anyone, so you can expect to feel a little uncomfortable whilst he takes the weight of your character, and what you can achieve together.
Ah Puch’s Role
He governs over the deepest level of the underworld - as legends have it - the place people go who die ordinary deaths (God forbid) or do not pass the challenges laid out by the Gods.
Ah Puch is the judge, jury and executioner down there exacting punishments, and when he fancies it, he visits topside to stalk those who wander in the dark with no protection, sometimes harvesting the already sick souls.
However, in my experience the underworld changed, and it’s forces evolved along with it.
We used to have knowledge of how the afterlife works, we were raised with the stories of what was to come after death so we knew what to do when we met the Council of Gods. But now that information was obliterated by the Spanish and replaced with the notion of ‘heaven’.
And it does not work that way.
So Ah Puch’s level of the underworld is too full - it cannot hold what it is having to hold. He needs our help as much as much as we need his.
As an Ally
He is not one on my lineage Spirits, but I am regularly in his territory and I train those who belong to him.
Ah Puch is one of the most loyal, distinguished and effective forces I know. He is a steel blade made flesh, with his hollow eyes and putrid skin.
He is a sight to behold.
His work with his children centres around psychopomping (crossing the dead over) in the dark places of the Americas. Ah Puch is adept at going to the sites of natural disasters, high level violence and mass graves with those working with him, psychopomping and adjusting the energy accordingly.
He will ensure you are protected, challenged and supported in a way that makes you not just a better practitioner, but a better person.
As the kind of death Ah Puch is, he will help you in cutting from your life what is rotting, without any feelings of guilt or obligation, as those feelings are useless in the real world.
They are a cage, you must free yourself from.
Those who walk with Ah Puch are incredibly lucky.
