[Aztlan] The Anthropomorphic Aspects of Gods.

[lahunik.62 at skynet.be]

Cfr.Message 4 Vol 26 Issue 2

The anthropomorphic tendency of representing Gods, Deities or Divine or
Worshiped Creatures, is a tendency to represent them as human beings.

In this manner one try to "humanize" or to "personificate" the superhuman
aspects of this creatures, to getting in a better contact with them.

The old Greeks had a very developed anthropomorphic "religion".

Their Gods or Deities were represented in a beautiful or an artistic manner
and the poets attributed them with admirable, human qualities and feelings.

So like the Feathered Serpent or Kukulkan, as a worshiped Creature.

He is frequently represented in all the Maya-manuscripts, sometimes
realistically and sometimes with the head of a God.

And all the other Mayan or Aztec Gods or Deities, didn't they have human
qualities and feelings?

All the 3 manuscripts, the Dresden, the Madrid and the Paris, all contain a
series of pictorial representations of human figures, which beyond question,
should be regarded as figures of Gods. 

Together with these are a number of animal figures, some with human bodies,
dress and armor, which likewise have a mythological significance. Their
number is not especially large. There are about 15 figures of Gods in human
form and about half as many in animal form.
