A. Sutherland \u00a0– AncientPages.com –\u00a0<\/strong>In the mythology of Maya peoples from the Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula and Guatemala, there are tales of curious creatures called aluxes. They are believed to be guardians of nature. They are often compared to elves, mythical creatures with magical powers.<\/p>\n The aluxes\u2019 (in plural: \u2018aluxo’ob\u2019) appearance is somewhat enigmatic and varies across different ancient cultural traditions. They can sometimes be associated with a leprechaun in Celtic folklore. Otherwise, Aluxes are small, approximately knee-high beings resembling miniatures of traditionally dressed Maya people.<\/p>\n However, according to other descriptions, depending on the tribe’s original folklore, they can be between three and six feet tall and hairless. The creatures move into the area where a new farm is established. If treated with respect, they can be invaluable and are considered benevolent creatures, faithful to their owners but mischievous toward strangers.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This is a preview of our premium article available only to members of Ancient Pages.<\/strong><\/p>\n Become a\u00a0member<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>to read more –\u00a0\u00a0Click here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n If you are\u00a0already a member<\/strong>\u00a0and have logged in to your account, you can\u00a0access the article here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n See also:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Killer-Of-Enemies \u2013 Mysterious Non-Human Teacher And Hero Of The Apache Indians<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Ancient Mystery Of The Maya \u2018Star War\u2019 Glyph And Its Connection To Venus<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Knowledge Of Secret Ancient Underground Civilization Revealed By Maya Priests<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n![\"Alux:](\"https:\/\/www.ancientpages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pr_aluxes.jpg\")
