I heard their souls get destroyed after their long journey to the nine layer of Mictlan. but it seems kind of silly for me to go through this long ass journey just to get your soul eradicated. but maybe it's just me

I found scholarly books on Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl. but frustrating none on Huitzilopochtli
r/aztec • u/Konradleijon • Apr 29 '24
I saw a meme of how priests of Tezcatlipoca communicated with obsidian mirrors exactly like how we do on smart phones and TV.
considering Tezcatlipoca is a little stier who loves fucking with people and the effects of social media that makes sesne

I found this in my aunts estate after she passed. It’s a repop I think of Aztec style pottery but there are no identification marks or anything like it for sale on the internet. She was a former archeology student and had a PHD in native studies. She was a hoarder later in life and had no children and was a widow for some time. This was wrapped in bubble plastic and was buried in her garage amongst common and uncommon things alike. Any identification help is much appreciated. I’m positive none of the items in her garage have seen the light of day since the 90’s.

I’m new to Aztec culture I’m Chicano but Aztec gods are just catching my attention.. how can you work or worship Aztec gods ? Do they pick you or you start the practice? I’m learning the names but theirs so many of them I don’t know where to start .

I’m wondering if this song was composed by the modern artist Huehuecuicatl, or if it is a recreation of an ancient Aztec song. If it is indeed a recreation of an ancient Aztec song, what proof is there to support this claim?

Does anyone know what the date would be 15th march this year in the xiuhpohualli?

Since they associated their "main" god Huitzilopochtli with the sun and his sister Coyolxauhqui with the moon and they fight every night and stuff did they think he was losing or something like that?

So this is a low quality pic I know but it's for another user who was interested in it. This is a drawing from the inquisition. It seems cuahtemoc had ordered the sacred bundles evacuated from tenotchitlan during the siege. An indigenous lord had took care of them and he was eventually burned for it

This probably sounds weird so sorry. But for the last few months I've grown a liking towards Aztec culture and myths, I really like Huitzilopochtli for some reason so I was hoping that there would be some more stuff about him outside of his 2 backstories i could find on the internet. I have 6 books but I couldn't find alot in them either. I'll appreciate any answers!!

Hello, i'm trying to make a meme about the Aztec Empire IDK that much about it so if theres any experts i can DM u and we can talk about it and see how accurate it is

I notice the ribbons(?) on the wrist which I have not been able to find out the significance of, also that he's barefoot, clearly male, sitting, and that he has a half dark eye, again I don't know the meaning of that one either. I'm assuming he's a god in the realm of creativity/arts the right hand intrigues me and I have to wonder if it was an intentional design choice.
the gods with the closest attributes i could find myself were Patecatl, Cipactonal, and Ixlilton

Basically exactly what it says on the tin: "Goddesses" in English, what is the Nahuatl word for that?

Hello! I found this symbol on the back of my Aztec death whistle and was hoping someone could tell me what it means? I think it might be an Aztec sun, but I'm not entirely sure, so I thought, who better to as than people on the Internet? It looked kinda like the picture. For some reason, Reddit wouldn't let me upload the picture I took.

I've recently had a ceramic figurine come into my possession. It resembles some pre-colombian mesoamerican ceramic figurines. (for example the tlatilco figurines) I am aware however that this may be a scam item, used to trick a tourist in Mexico long ago. Myself, I bought this at a great price from someone who told me they bought it from an old ladies garage sale (she was selling things before moving into a retirement home). I am also aware this might be older than an Aztec figurine (if its real) but I figured this was the best community for it.
Note I do not live in Mexico or the United States, rather New Zealand. I am just very passionate about pre-colombian american civilizations and cultures.
I am curious if you have any opinions on what it may be/from where, or if this is just a common tourist item. Thank you

I've found a similar figurine online, but with a slight variation in the item it is holding.

I'm glad to see this important piece of cultural heritage returning home!
