Thinking about Coatlicue, Aztec goddess of life, death, rebirth, and the earth
Tonāntzin (our mother)
who was so terrifying that when she was rediscovered under the Templo Mayor, the white elite had to bury her again, not only to hide her terrifying image but also hide her from her indigenous followers who remembered her and loved her went to great lengths to still worship her.
Tēteoh īnnān (mother of the gods)
Mother of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, who became pregnant when she touched a ball of feathers that fell from above and then gave birth to Huitzilopochtli, the God of War and Sacrifice.
Coatlalopeuh, on who's hill the dark Virgen de Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego and, in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztec, told him "Am I not here, I who am your mother?" Our Nuestra Virgen who appeared, not as the new mother of God but as the Woman Clothed with the Sun at the end of world to remind us that, even if the world as we knew it ended, we have will survive and continue
