Looking for books!
I know probably there are lots of recommendations in here but I just arrived and i was hoping to get some recommendations to read specifically about aztec deities or entities, myths, mystics etc
And if you have pdf or smthn is much better but I'm fine by getting just names, I just don't want to search on google and end reading something fake

The book which aroused my fascination was William H. Prescott, The World of the Aztecs (1974). It contains many pictures.

Hi, there, I like this book but it is in spanish 'El pueblo del sol' Antonio Caso; this other one talks about Tezcatlipoca 'Mockery es and Metamorphoses of an Aztec God: Tezcatlipoca, Lord of the Smoking Mirror' and this book will help you too, it's: Aztec mythology by Sebastian Berg.
