The Mayan people used their knowledge of astronomy, cosmology and divination to search for the significance in their life. It was believed that every person had an animal spirit, so when a child was born their soul was put into an animals body. The higher class Mayans, such as Kings, had two animal spirits.
There was also the belief that there was the existence of various souls in one body.
The rituals of sacrifice allowed the Mayan people to enhance their purpose through connecting with the Gods by various offerings.
