Mother Deity

Mother Deity

Mother Deity is one of the murals in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It is part of the Pantheon of Gods 3 artifact collection and can be found within the Path of Battle Challenge Tomb.

The Maya goddess Ix Chel, like moon goddesses in many other cultures, was also a mother deity associated with pregnancy and childbirth. The natural phenomena over with she presided included waterfalls, rainstorms, and rainbows. She was also the goddess of all crafts, such as watercolor painting, and weaving, which she invented. But she wasn't exclusively nurturing. Her hair consisted of living serpents, she wore a skirt made of bones, and she had a legendary temper.
