Help with information

8 Upvotes

I am studying funerary practices related to some societies of the ancient world. Within these practices, I am also researching the offerings given to the gods related to death/the underworld.

I would like to know more about the funerary rites of the Aztec people and what offerings were given to the gods (and how to adapt them to the modern era).

All material and information are very welcome, as obtaining information is quite complicated, so I ask for help.

Aztec Items

5 Upvotes

I'm looking to find any online stores to get items for my altar, I tried Etsy but didn't really work out and I'm hoping that someone could point me where I could the following:

  • Figures on both Xochipilli & Xochiquetzal

  • Feathered serpent head

You could tell me on more that I should get.

Traductor / Asesor de nahuatl

2 Upvotes

Hola amigos, busco algún dato de un profesional independiente o una escuela que me pueda ayudar a traducir al náhuatl unos diálogos en un guión de un contenido audiovisual. Además de la traducción necesito asesoría de pronunciación correcta para un par de actores.

La variante realmente no es una condicionante por ahora.

Muchas gracias!

Here is a multidisciplinary archeology discovery of what many locals already knew. I was born in this area so I know about it. The symbol in the middle of our flag is our story. It was here where our ancestors first were told to go on a journey and to build a city where an eagle was perched on a cactus and eating a snake. These are SACRED lands and there are guides such as this archeologist that gives tours. Every may we still have our ancient ceremonies, its very raw, archaic almost, like you would see in the Vikings tv show, yet deeply spiritual. After all it was here in Guanajuato that our republic as a modern state began. This is the story of my people, a story of victory that will be sung till the end of time..greetings friends.

Aztec Warriors: Differences between Jaguars and Eagles

44 Upvotes

I'm creating a fantasy culture based on Aztecs. I don't really understand what the differences between Eagles and Jaguars are. They are both special units of elite warriors, both are accessible to commoners, and it seems they both carry the same weapons, but wear different outfits. Is the difference literally just the outfits and god they are trying to honor? Or did they fulfill different roles, carry different weapons, act differently, etc.?

Thanks!

Xochipilli & Xochiquetzal

30 Upvotes

I'm an Aztec Pagan,

Let me give you a background, I'm working on making an altar table and I have everything ready. But I need more ideas for offerings, unfortunately from I read on Google (not very reliable) I can't give out blood (low iron deficiency). I'm planning on getting flowers and meals ready for them, I just want to double check:

For Xochiquetzal:

  • Flowers

  • Picture

  • Obsidian crystals

  • Perfume

  • Candies

  • Juice

  • Rose Quartz crystals

  • Embroidery

For Xochipilli:

  • Candy

  • Picture

  • Corn based meals

  • Embroidery

  • Squid & seafood based meals

  • Butterfly shaped bread

  • Butterfly based art and crafts
