Bacab is the generic Yucatec Maya name for the four prehispanic aged deities of the interior of the earth and its water deposits. Their names were Hobnil, Cantzicnal, Zac-Cimi, and Hosan-Ek. The Bacabs are also referred to as Pauahtuns. Hosan-Ek is the Bacab of the South. His color is yellow and he blesses the Cauac years.
The Bacabs were invoked in connection with rain and agriculture, since they were intimately associated with the four Chaacs, or rain deities, and the Pauahtuns, or wind deities, all located in the four directions. The Maya of Chan Kom referred to the four skybearers as the four Chacs.
Since they were Year Bearer patrons, and also because of their meteorological qualities, the Bacabs were important in divination ceremonies; they were approached with questions about crops, weather, or the health of bees (Landa).
In addition, the “Four Gods, Four Bacabs” were often invoked in curing rituals that had the four-cornered world and its beaches for a theatre, which is the basic reason why the most important early-colonial collection of Yucatec curing texts, the Ritual of the Bacabs, has been named after them.
