Chihuateteo, warrior goddess for women who died in childbirth?

Happy Ides of March today!
A deity who symbolizes women who died in childbirth...sounds like a good idea for all those women who didn't live through that trauma.  But how she would also be considered a warrior goddess, I'm not sure of the connection.  But the gesture of her hands and her mouth do lead me to think this woman is wondering, "why me?"




Today's quote:


Many paths lead from the foot of the mountain, but at the peak we all gaze at the single bright moon.
Ikkyu - Zen-monk poet, 1394-1481
