Quick Overview

The Maya believed in a cyclical nature of time. Maya priest provided prophetic outlook on the future or past based on the number relations of their calendars and significant past dates such as birth. If the interpretations of the priests spelled bad times to come, offerings and sacrifices would be performed with the intention of satisfying the gods. Offerings were provided to the gods in purified vessels often by burning copal resin. Copal was seen as the blood or lifeline of a copal tree. The smoke from copal was seen as an offering of blood to the gods.
