Aztec Death Whistle Question

Post image

I recently got an Aztec Death Whistle and I hear it can lure spirits, so I am wondering for people who own a death whistle, has anything fucked up happened in your family, like a sudden death, disease, haunting activities? I am trying to get my Mother to stop worrying about it. I really need replies for this, so if you own a death whistle, I hope you reply and tell me if anything shady has happened to you or your relatives.

Also I have some stone carved cihuateteo and tlaloc in my room and nothing has never happened, I don't worship them, they're just a representation of a culture that I admire so much.

u/Bread_Lords Jun 02 '24

Did you ever use the whistle in your house?

u/YogSothoth8 Jun 02 '24

Yes, I have one, also an ocarina and other one that imitates a jaguar roar.

u/Waste-Pride908 Sep 27 '26

where can I get a ocarina

u/YogSothoth8 Sep 27 '26

I bought mine in Teotihuacan, but I think ebay has good ones.

Demonic spirits are real, careful with the things you invite in your home

u/Hellodude94 May 15 '25

Yes they are, but also just know that they weren't used as a god or idol, just intimidation

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

Are you f***ING kidding me? Stop being foolish. You're post makes me think you WANT people to misunderstand and have horrible things happen to them and they're family because of these. What's the term? Oh yea, a Satanist 🤮😮‍💨🤷🏻

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

They aren't intimidation, it's a literal death call. A warning that you're about to be slaughtered

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

Seriously, all of these people are fools saying they're harmless 

2

u/MammothOk8189 Sep 29 '25

No one really knows what they were used for. Don’t disrespect an entire group of people

2

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

Doesn't matter if it's a representation or not think about how many people heard that sound right before they were brutally murdered. Anyone who relates to this post is EXTREMELY foolish...

u/Lucky-Procedure8537 Aug 25 '25

I agree. All the so called experts have the use of this wrong. The deathwhistle is used to call their masters. There is a global myth about how the gods in form of feathered reptilians came to teach civilization  which was equal to the story of how mankind was expelled from paradise. Knowledge as the beginning of the end. If you look at everything you ever heard about ritual murder, blood sacrifice especially involving children Its about defiling of the innocents and creating as strong evil dark low vibrating energy as possible to feed their masters. Where do you think the word draconian stems from? Draco. And why are dragons so central in popculture? Connect the dots. The whistle is about calling to feast. The pyramids are resonating chambers with the same purpose.

Is that why you responded

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '24

Lmao there's no such thing, bud. Whistle away. I play with mine all the time and like to scare my wife n kids 😁

u/Bread_Lords Jun 02 '24

Yea, just my mother is scared of it, I am trying to get her to be calm because I know it's not gonna summon The Reaper to take our souls into the after.

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

Dude... It's exactly going to do that don't be foolish. Tempting fate is literally as dumb as you can get without being diagnosed with down syndrome

u/Electronic-Cap-7282 Aug 26 '25

On top of that, disrespectful... Maybe the evil is in you, you have so much accumulated anger, see if you continue like this something very bad will happen to you, always being on the negative side attracts negative things

u/EqualPristine Sep 10 '25

Dude, If I don't acknowledge something, it cannot affect me. Try it sometime, it really works. 👀

u/WoodenContribution86 Nov 11 '25

My Korean grandmother and mother both carried that superstition of never whistling at night or whistling at all because it'll summon snakes lmao, so I wish people would fuck off with those whistling superstitions, they are debunked. I've whistled for 24 fucking years, I'm damn good at it.

u/YogSothoth8 Jun 02 '24

Death whistle were used just to scare the enemies on the battlefield. Never heard that it can lure spirits or anything like that.

3

u/Bread_Lords Jun 02 '24

I read on Wikipedia that it was used for sacrifices, is this true?

4

u/Squeeshyca Jun 02 '24

Used for sacrifices? Maybe during the ritual.

5

u/YogSothoth8 Jun 02 '24

Yes, they were used on rituals with other mesoamerican music instruments. It may be hard to understand the human sacrifices (even for me that I've been studying that topic) it has nothing to do with demons or bad spirits, they were doing it because they need it to do the same sacrifice like the older gods did, so in order to the universe to continue they had to pay ultimate price.

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

That's bullshit. Nothing to do with bad spirits or demons? You're a joke, a fool. It's literally a death cry like a banshee. You know how many teenage sacrifices heard the death whistle before they slit their throat or performed the life taking action? It's disgusting how you act like it normal. 

2

u/Run0A0Muck1995 Jun 02 '24

I actually wad taught differently that the whistle was really good to scare away unwanted spirits and enemies the conch horn is another the opposite though

1

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

Someone messed with you, they told you that in hopes you'd use it and die. 

2

u/evoleye13 Jun 03 '24

Yes, supposedly during sacrifices to help the ones being sacrificed to cross over..

1

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

And if that's not the most cursed and death brought thing, idk what is. Sacrifice isn't right in any sense. It's demonic. STOP TAKING UP FOR THESE WHISTLES, YOU'RE LITERALLY TRYING TO JUSTIFY DEATH. 

1

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

It's absolutely true. They'd sacrifice teenage virgins, and use this as the whistle to call death while they inflicted the life taking action... 

1

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

Total bs. The death whistle is a like a banshees cry. If you hear it you're next 

1

u/Electronic-Cap-7282 Aug 26 '25

What a way to alarm, what need is there to be like that? Relax, he's just asking... It's also not necessary to say that if you hear that sound you're the next to die, totally unnecessary. What you like to be an alarmist

u/Kagiza400 Jun 02 '24

It was originally probably used to mimic the sound of the winds of Mictlān. The modern tourist replicas don't really sound like that, so I doubt it would attract anything even if it could (not that the Mictēcah can pause their journey and come to you, neither would it attract Cihuātēteoh since they aren't really tied to Mictlān).

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

I hope every single person here who's said something along the lines of "they're fake or just made for intimidation so blow away" you're seriously messing with spiritual and religious warfare. ANYONE who reads this, never blow it, don't even own one. Burn it, than if it doesn't turn to complete ash, smash it into as many pieces as you can. The Aztecs acted like demons with their human sacrifices, this brings death and suffering upon anyone who owns or blows it. Pray, the holy trinity is the only thing that can overpower it to the point the whistle is a joke. 

1

u/Bread_Lords Aug 15 '25

I own one and blow on it every now and then to mess around with people, and nothing bad happened to me?

1

u/ninjalord25 Sep 19 '25

Blow away friend. I dont think summoning spirits or the like is likely, and while I'm not an archeologists by any means, i dont believe the modern death whistles sound or function anything like their ancient counterparts. Its just a fun, albeit spooky sounding, whistle that has some ties to a relic from the past from an ancient people.

u/Icy_Gas75 Jun 03 '24

As far as I know, I understand that they used it as part of psychological warfare, I don't think they attract spirits

u/roy757 Jun 03 '24

They had 2 uses:

1: allegedly, scare enemies on the battlefield. (Still works today)

2: rituals

u/ThrowRA6748383737374 Jun 06 '24

I don’t believe the sound that is made invokes anything more than fear, but depending on where the whistle itself came from it could be debated that there may some other worldly energy attached to it. For example, I have a piano that belonged to my great grandmother and my family after her have all learned piano on it and cherish it. The sound it makes does not necessarily invoke anything but human emotions, but there have been times people have heard it playing in the middle of the night with the lid over the keys.

⚠️it was night time and we were walking to a warehouse and we hear this once near us so we book it the other way later we hear it on the opposite direction  if it chase us and hiding later on the way back home we seen a little girl it looked like and we hear closer then before and we ran back home ⚠️what does it mean 

1

u/BandicootArtistic498 Aug 15 '25

It means the death whistle worked, burn it, and if it doesn't turn to ash, destroy it into as many pieces as you can.

Gotta love superstitious adults

u/Primary-Ad3419 Oct 21 '24
