The (Mayan) Opossum God carrying the Rain God during the New Year Rites (cacao is to be offered). This picture is from the Dresden Codex, and I found it in Sophie (and Michael) Coe's book The True History of Chocolate. [Colouring of both pictures by me :) I was trying to figure out whatnot on earth was going on.]

The Opossum God carries out an image of the Maize God to a shrine at the entrance of the town during New Year ceremonies (Dresden Codex). This picture I found in The Maya by Michael D. Coe.

cutankerous facts about possums
• Did you know that the possum, being one of the earliest mammals, has a very thin neocortex. It's possible that, for possums, abstract thought is only a rudimentary glimmer!
• The possum is the only North American marsupial.
• Some possums think spiny echidna's suck, others think they rule.
• Spiny echidna's don't dream!
• If we boycott selective pressure, maybe marsupials would make a comeback.
