Voltan

was an earth and drum god (originally a human hero who was deified), married to Ixchel.

These gods played a heavy role in the life of the Maya.

Some controlled the weather, the harvest, they dictated one's mate, they gathered at every birth, they were in attendance at one's death, and many more.

Many of the things that the Maya did was a sign of respect for their gods; dress, architecture, etc.
