Tohil

Section of stucco frieze with a prominent human face in the centre, surrounded by elaborate decoration.
Drawing of the Temple of Tohil at the former K'iche' capital of Q'umarkaj, by Frederick Catherwood, published in 1841The ruins of the Temple of Tohil as they appeared in 2006.[20]

Tohil (/toˈχil/) (also spelled Tojil) was a deity of the K'iche' Maya in the Late Postclassic period of Mesoamerica.

At the time of the Spanish Conquest, Tohil was the patron god of the K'iche'. Tohil's principal function was that of a fire deity and he was also both a sun god and the god of rain. Tohil was also associated with mountains and he was a god of war, sacrifice and sustenance. In the K'iche' epic Popul Vuh, after the first people were created, they gathered at the mythical Tollan, the Place of the Seven Caves, to receive their language and their gods. The K'iche', and others, there received Tohil. Tohil demanded blood sacrifice from the K'iche' and so they offered their own blood and also that of sacrificed captives taken in battle. In the Popul Vuh this consumption of blood by Tohil is likened to the suckling of an infant by its mother.
