Mictecacihuatl, Lady of the Dead, is the link between the living and the deceased. She holds our teyollia, the spirit of our personality and our creativity, and purifies it so it can return to the Earth in the shape of a new being. Also called Mictlancihuatl, she is the ruler of the land of the dead. She is honored on Dia de Muertos, and is a manifestation of La Santa Muerte. A work of nahua (or Aztec) tradition.

Mictecacihuatl is the female deity associated with death in many of Mexico's indigenous cultures. In addition to welcoming us into the afterlife, she is the protector of some and the source of countless legends related to the underworld. Learn about her history, her powers, and the fate of those who encounter the powerful lady of Mictlán.

Known as the lady of the dead, the lady who cuts the umbilical cord, or simply the lady of death, Mictecacihuatl is the goddess who rules the other world and to whom some will have to answer sooner or later.

Together with her husband, the lord of death Mictlantecuhtli, Mictecacihuatl welcomes souls who died naturally to Mictlán, to watch over their bones and watch over their sleep for all eternity.

Furthermore, her power extends throughout the land of the dead and even into the world of the living, as she is capable of sending blessings, curses, and messages from her dimension in the afterlife. Of the two rulers of the underworld, Mictecacihuatl seems to be the more flexible of the two deities, as she is the one who gives the deceased permission to return from Mictlán, a gesture that does not go unnoticed on the earthly plane, as the celebration of the dead in pre-Hispanic cultures was an honor to this goddess.

I would be fixed if I was solving the disappearance of a teenager in the Pacific Northwest during a beautiful autumn season

Been meeting for the past 6 months trying to get a union started at our workplace but we haven't been able to break the barrier of just having the same 10 people show up, despite lots of people expressing support. Our organization would need 2500 or so to even meet the minimum number needed to unionize so it really feels like a lost cause because everyone else is too burnt out and depressed from ICE raids and other shit happening constantly. I forgot about the last two meetings because its not even top of mind anymore. I'm thinking energy is going to be better spent volunteering elsewhere.

Kind of related, what's the best way to navigate to and from a protest in an unfamiliar area if you leave your phone at home? Print out bus schedules?

On hexbear.net, moderators are a traumatizing social power-dynamic, left up to the whim of 1 person, that has a significant effect on your life, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Lol bannin

[–] GeckoChamber@hexbear.net 3 points 53 minutes ago

I hate it when a moderator on this site has a significant effect on my life

For next summer, what I would like is a jean jacket or vest (sleeveless jacket?) with a big hammer and sickle embroidered on the back. Sadly my hands are too shaky to sew, so it cannot be done.

I’ve gotten so scared I think the lowest point is asking r/fearofflying if landing on 40mph (64kmh) gusts is doable. Doesn’t help the weather app shows an ominous orange

even though I’ve been assured I’m still freaking the hell out scared

(what I’m hovering on is the time I’m supposed to be landing on)

cw: ideationThere's not a single person in this world who cares about me.

All i do is work, practice and go to jam sessions where I'm not wanted. I'm exhausted. I hate my job and my life.

I am completely alone and its too late to bridge any relations that will fix it. Im too far gone.

I hate this planet and everything about it. Everything is awful and i dont want to be here anymore. None of it matters.

Did you just imply that the three parts of the Godhead constitute different gods you fucking heathen?

You're gonna need to say so many hail maries I swear to God

Gave my dog a treat, she was a little too enthusiastic when taking it from my hand and now I have to get a tetanus shot and take an antibiotic for three days. Moderately annoying.

You can't go home again. Different people live there now and even if they don't call the cops, it will be awkward at best.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Stalin wasn't a communist, he used the Marxist movement to forward his true ideology— a return to the temple economy of the Third Dynasty of Ur. He died before he could complete his great Ziggurat to Enlil.

lol

[–] Buptendo@hexbear.net 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Enlil is an anagram for lenin

what do you all think of beta minecraft? i've been playing it for like 3 months and built some cool shit

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 2 points 5 hours ago

I played it before with a revival modpack and it feels really chill.

Though I think modern Minecraft can also feel chill if you removed things like elytra and totems that invalidate most of the game.

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 10 points 13 hours ago

I type wiki into my search bar, and it suggests the Arch Wiki before Wikipedia.

There's one singular videogame that doesn't launch on my tiling Wayland compositor, so I have to have a stripped-down desktop environment (KDE Plasma Wayland) for the sole purpose of playing it.

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 4 points 5 hours ago

Desktop environment supremacy over minimal compositors. I don't get why someone would want to implement desktop functionality piecemeal when you can modify an existing DE.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 7 points 13 hours ago

Nerds turns out Age of Mythology retold its actually pretty good.

i really like the changes like making myth units stronger, plus i mostly been playing the chinese campaign and its been pretty fun, i like how the chinese have to connect their buildings to the towncenter to built up favor, cant wait to get to the part were i can spam built dragons

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 13 hours ago

The PS2 startup sound is soooo fucking good.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fZet5jQmY1o&pp=

Pop that on with headphones or a good speaker loud, I got used to it way back and was a kid. That is a great sounding sound.
