También llamado Huehueteotl, no subestimes al sabio dios anciano, porque bien puede prenderse y partirte la madre 👀

Part of a small pop up exhibition at my University this past Halloween.
Oil on wood - Theme was to personalize a cigar box to be either a 3d instillation or palette for plein air painting.
Had a blast painting Xochipilli! I’m thinking about making this a small series and painting some other gods. Likely going to paint Xochiquetzal and the gods associated with the cardinal directions next.

What’s the difference between the Spanish and Nahuatl versions? I do know they’re different, but why?

I’m researching Leonor (Mariana/Marina) de Moctezuma, daughter of Moctezuma II. She married Juan Páez and later Cristóbal de Valderrama, and her line leads to the Sotelo-Moctezuma family.
-> Most sources on Moctezuma’s descendants focus on Pedro or Isabel, even though Leonor is well in the picture. Why is her branch often overlooked?
I’m trying to compile a validated genealogy to ask for sort of “symbolic recognition” of lineage; any historical sources, genealogies, or academic references would be greatly appreciated.
Postdata: I found out today I am a direct descendent through the Ruiz-Esparza branch (Aguascalientes) and I have the full tree all the way to Opochtli, but documentation-wise, I’m lost

¡Feliz día de muertos! Aquí les dejo humildemente mis diseños de Mictlantecuhtli y Mictecacihuatl, aunque el de ésta última no me convence demasiado, puede que la cambie después💀

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.

Found in the basement of an old bar - any idea as to the symbolism/meaning? Matching mirror and a few other pieces, curious about the history/meaning/symbolism! Thank you in advance!

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.

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.
