A History of Eclipses in Mexico - Cultural Snapshot

I apologize for the delay in getting this week's newsletter out. It's been a crazy time with the kids on vacation and today's big event, the eclipse.

Eclipses have long held a captivating place in human history and mythology, and Mexican culture is no exception. In Mexico, eclipses are more than just astronomical events; they are moments rich with cultural significance, woven into the fabric of indigenous and contemporary beliefs.

Historically, indigenous peoples in Mexico, including the Maya and Aztecs, possessed advanced astronomical knowledge. They meticulously observed celestial movements, including eclipses, which they believed were potent omens. The Maya, for example, considered solar and lunar eclipses as powerful events that could signify impending change or turmoil, reflecting the gods' moods or intentions.

Today, while the fear and mysticism surrounding eclipses have diminished, the cultural fascination remains. Communities across Los Cabos (and all of Mexico) celebrated the eclipses through gatherings and educational events, embracing the opportunity to witness the rare celestial phenomenon together.
