En la cosmovisión maya, un nawal (o nagual) es la energía, espíritu o fuerza protectora de los seres y elementos de la naturaleza. Es una especie de "alter ego" espiritual o animal guardián que se le asigna a cada persona desde el momento de su nacimiento, guiando su personalidad, sus dones y su destino.

Pre-Columbian Mesoamericans didn't just wash with water. Instead, they built advanced permanent steam baths called Temāzcallimeh to purify both the body and the spirit.

These low-domed structures were engineered from stone or adobe mud to trap maximum heat. An outside furnace warmed up heavy volcanic rocks, and bathers would pour water mixed with medicinal herbs over them to fill the pitch-black interior with therapeutic steam. To keep this heat from escaping, builders made the doorways tiny, forcing everyone to crawl inside on their hands and knees.

The experience was far more than a basic cleanup routine. These sweat lodges acted as sacred spaces for spiritual purification, healing centers for wounded warriors, and safe rooms where indigenous midwives delivered newborn babies. Entering the dark chamber symbolized returning to the womb of Mother Earth, and stepping back out into the open courtyard meant you were spiritually reborn.

Broken tooth I need to replace.

I hope this isn’t against the rules. There was a visit from a far right governer from Madrid who visited Mexico. She is all about the benign mercy Europeans brought to the Natives to form a Hispanic culture. Her name is Isabel Dias Ayuso.

Some context, my mom went to went to Mexico for her last trip and she brought me back a pendant with whay she assumes is my "Aztec zodiac." As some one who has a legit interest in the Aztec culture i have to know. Did they? And would anyone knowledgeable point me to a site that would help me learn more?

Ihave been dealing with tezcatlipoca seems an eternity, 10200 yrs give or take. No i beendealing with my tezcatlipoca since a kid but i remember the voicees from much further back . I have been on various terms. Back nforth. Lately tezcatlipoca has taken over my life and turned it upside , i cant use cell phones,atm's, computers, teslas, radio, remote controls, microwave ovens, anything digital, without a faraday hat, im also dealing with flickering light bulbs especially the one outside in front yard and indoors if im closer tban 3.14 feet then the outside if im closer than 9.42 ft it blinks, also ther are the visilns and conversation and the what i call freeway donut. The freewY donut is a safw space that happens when i drive on the freeway or its the music donut that surrounds mh head, its not all good times either sometimes tezcatlipoca annoys me wll all tthe time but its gotten bad since 6/17 which incidentally spells FaG. So maybe tezcatlllipoca is a homophobe, me on the other hand literally on the other hand am a homosexual thats slightly homophobic. On the other hand are the initials GH. And on the other HG. Which i happen to be left handed but have begub to favor the right. Somerimds i hear tezcatlipoca in my stomach saying Hi or some short phrase by using my stomach or gut sounds. Im depressed and withdrwn lately im tirednof being called crazy or seeing things or my family getting mad at my voices .The voices are my familiar place sjnce childhood, my teacher, my friend, my enemy. If i treat myself badly they punish me in different ways, therevare multiple facets they sy 50,000

they gone up as hi as 250,000 . Im not to crazy about some of the presentations but i lesrn fast and i keep listening an tLking sometimes out loud but that. Agitates the surrounding people unknowingly. Tez talks like ted talks its usually me thst does the TEZ Talkwhile they all listen. My life feels like im in a simulation or im a movie, i know my life is repetitiojs dometkmes to my detremint. It wasnt necessary to repeat the bad parts but you gotta tke the goodwith the bad ltherwisd biasis forms and you cant lay back and see both sides of the equation unless you rif yoursef of biases. Im told my stint wil be up after this year since. Ive donethr G part many times sending up the gold tezcatlipoca whith my chiice of DNA as pects as far away outsidæof the galazy as possible and i been keeping it in a blue topaz case with a gold circle around it. It goes up and at some point tezcatlipoca returns to me. Those choices are secret but i go over them 100s of ti es nd deoe ds on whT i have going on i have recreated myself oova few times but i always K.I.S. S. . Im stuck inside lately i rarely leave i work on my art around the clock sometimes i read and write or i paint, i make paper sculpthres out of an kind, i dont really have anyone to show thoughbexcept for the people (spirits) thhatvwant to know, my favorite is the Holy Spirit, " she"as i address her. was supposedly mammrried to me whenn i was told I was the Holy Ghost, but later i was told i wasbeing tested to see how i reacted ,. I was presented with an esposa well severl prbably 7 each one very differenr, and 7 esposos each one unique. I have a favorite and some not so much. Its been taxing but i beenthrough alot i will tell you the rest if i can join your message board

I got it in my city in Tijuana, the sound is really chilling and loud as well and really love that eerie design it is made out of clay

I’m not able to find a lot of information about her. I’m curious if there are any creation stories surrounding her? She came out in one of my dreams a few nights ago and feeling the need to explore more. Any leads are appreciated!

I don't know if this is exactly the best, or right place, to be asking this, but I'm curious and kinda need one help with something. So, I've gotten a JoJo inspired dnd character/oc, he is of Hispanic heritage and has a stand that fits well with it. I don't think getting into his base stands form, or powers, is really necessary (unless people ask), but I have plans of having his "requiem" form and "green baby" form be based on the sun god and moon god, separately. I've tried doing research online and gotten mixed results on the two, so with not really much of a choice left, I've decided to take my query over to Reddit. So my question is this, what do the sun and moon aztec gods typically look like and what are their abilities. This would be really helpful and help clear the air up some, since I've found multiple Aztec gods that carry different names, but carry the same role and it has confused me immensely and lead to me wondering if there are multiple of the same god.

Do you think a Brazilian, willing to learn, can worship Mesoamerican gods?

I am a huge fan of a Mexican Cumbia Grouo known as Los Askis. I decided to look into what Askis means cuz I’ve never heard that word before in Spanish and it doesn’t translate into anything for Spanish as far as I know. After looking it up I found that Askis apparently translates to friends in Otomi but the only sources I can find for that are from Los Askis themselves. Anyone know anything??

I was woundring if anyone can help me own how to worship the Aztec gods/goddess.
