UN Climate Change Bureaucrat Prays to Ixchel

The U.N. Convention on climate Change opened in Cancun with a prayer to the goddess Ixchel by its Executive Director. Moonbattery gives us some history about Ixchel: "During this Mayan festival in the honor of Ixchel: the goddess of the Moon, beehives, fertility, medicine and weaving, a beautiful young woman was chosen by craftsmen and artisans to represent the goddess. This young woman was sacrificed by the priests and flayed.
Her skin was worn by a man who sat at a loom and pretended to weave, while the craftsmen danced around him in animal costumes. The ceremony was then completed when the worshippers engaged in bloodletting and then had a ritual bath."
