The Gods of the Mayan Days
Each of the 20 days of the Mayan ceremonial calendar, the Tzolkin, was represented by a different god similar to the way our days of the week are overseen by a different planet (Sunday is Sun Day, Monday is Moon Day, etc.).
For example,
Imix, the god of the earth rules the first day
Ik, the god of moving air and wind rules the second day
Akbal, the god of the underworld, rules the third day
Kan, the god of maize and abundance, rules the fourth day
