Buluc Chabtan was the Mayan god war, violence, and death. People prayed to him for success in war, to avoid sudden death, and just on general principles because they didn't want to be on his bad side. Blood was seen as nourishment for the gods and a human life was the ultimate gift to a deity. Prisoners of war were more commonly used for this purpose. It's thought that the Maya decapitated their human sacrifices until the postclassic period when heart removal was favored.

In Mayan art, Buluc Chabtan is usually portrayed with a thick black line around his eyes and down one cheek. It's also common for him to be in images where he's setting fire to buildings and stabbing people. Sometimes, he is shown stabbing people with a spit which he uses to roast them over a fire. He's often pictured with Ah Puch the Mayan god of death.

It was common for people to make human sacrifices to various gods in Mesoamerican cultures; Buluc Chabtan is a bit unusual, however, in that he was actually also a god of human Religion and Culture.

He was however one of the "bad" gods in Mayan culture. He wasn't so much worshiped as he was avoided.
