Culture and traditions can come in different forms. Textile is a very important tradition and art in the Guatemalan culture.

According to Mayan tradition, people were taught to weave yarn into textile by the goddess Ix Chel. She was the moon goddess and the embodiment of fertility and female virtues.

Weaving was a semi-sacred action that connected women to Ix Chel and was as much a firm of philosophy as it was an art.
