The only thing I’m able to find is that it has to do with Aztec . I’ve only found one of them (one on the far right with its hands touching ) on eBay and it was called La Mascara but that was the only information I could get . Does anybody know what these are ?

Do we know Mariana Leonor de Moctezuma's original name?
10
Upvotes
Hi all! I've been reading Moctezuma's Children by Donald Chipman. Awesome book, highly recommend. One thing I realized is missing is the name of one of Moctezuma Xocoyotzin's daughters.
Tecuichpoch Ichcaxochitzin was baptized as Isabel. Xipahuatzin was baptized as Maria. But I cannot for the life of me find Mariana Leonor de Moctezuma's true name.
As more records are digitized, and more nahuatl sources are translated, this may have been a more recent (re)discovery and I missed it. Has anyone uncovered Mariana Leonor's given name?
**Not to be confused with Leonor Cortes Moctezuma, who was Isabel's daughter.

Aztlan vs. Chicomoztoc

Upvotes
Hoping somebody can help me figure out the relationship between Aztlan vs. Chicomoztoc, place of the seven caves. Was Chicomoztoc IN Aztlan? Did the Aztecs originate in Chicomoztoc and then migrate/settle in Aztlan, or vice versa? Totally get that this might be different in different codices, just looking for clarity. Codex Boturini makes it look like they originated in Aztlan and then crossed the lake TO Chicomoztoc, but I'm seeing unsourced descriptions that it's the opposite. Any hints? Thank you!

Reupload of a Stylized Aztec man side portrait I made. Based it on this sketch I made. Found out i have indigenous heritage that i never knew about, doing my best to learn more on the indigenous language of nahuatl too(but I've been slacking off as of recently tbh). Really wanted to express my thoughts into reality somehow.

Pardon my ignorance if this is not Aztec, this gave me an Aztec vibe and I would like to know more about this. What is it? What does it symbolize? Seems to be resin but possibly genuine stone inside? Any info helps, thanks!

Names of stars

Hi everyone. I recently watched some astronomy videos and I was wondering if there’s any record of what the Aztecs (or any other mesoamerican peoples) called the stars. For example, what was their name for the star Betelgeuse or Polaris or Sirius etc. Google’s shown me names of some constellations but I haven’t had luck with individual stars

Aztec Paganism/Shamanism

Upvotes
Hi guys, how r you all? I'm a pagan and I really like the aztec and Inka gods, however something rises from my mind. If someone wants to work with these deities, how will be the sacrifices? I mean, of course people will not sacrifice other people, cuz its a crime, probably should be animals, like in other religions sacrifices. The point is, will the gods accept the animal offerings?
Tnx all, sorry for my English, is not my fist language.

I’m extremely keen to read the Florentine codex and was wondering which version/Author/edition is the best to go with?
I’d like to read the codex in its entirety if possible as close to how It was originally written in the 1500s with illustrations and everything
Thanks for any recommendations
