Throughout the existence of the Mayan culture and way, there have been numerous individuals of guidance and rule that have taken on the exact name or names similar to those possessed by Kukulkan in that day and age.

Kukulkan was and currently is an extremely influential deity to the Maya; so influential in fact, that numerous sites, temples and pyramids have been built to channel his properties, pay homage and respect to him, and provide destinations to learn from and understand his teachings and ways. Ruins all throughout the northern Yucatán Penninsula such as Chichen Itza, Uxmal, and Mayapan provide examples of this.

The K’iche’ Maya know certain aspects of Kukulkan as Q’uq’umatz, and in the Popol Vuh (The Book of the People) tell of his collaborative creation of the Earth and Man, alongside the deity of the sky’s power, Tepeu.

Kukulkan is a true sign of mediation, communication, and balance; as the elements forming his whole depict neutrality, and the ability to roam between realms of dualism. The serpent element of Kukulkan defines his ability to navigate and explore the Earth with great proficiency and ease; to dwell within and beyond the lands of earthlings. The quetzal aspect of his being reveals his power to ascend into the realm of the sky and beyond; an attribute that shows his ability to navigate and understand the galactic and cosmic realms of existence.

Kukulkan is truly a deity capable of bringing forces of inward and outward depths together to spark creation and change.
