#Tláloc

[banfrancop]

Oración a Tláloc para que traiga las lluvias en este Xopaniztempan:

-En México pedimos en préstamo al Señor

-Tú, mi Señor, Príncipe Hechicero

-Que para nosotros haces el sustento

-Y del Tlalocan, casa de turquesas, has de salir

-Ve y extiéndete por todo el Cemanáhuac

-Y llena de vida la tierra, que es fértil

Templo Mayor

El Templo Mayor o Gran Templo (llamado Hueteocalli por los aztecas) dominaba el recinto sagrado central de la capital azteca, Tenochtitlán. Rematado por dos templos gemelos dedicados al Huitzilopochtli, el dios de la guerra, y Tláloc, el dios de la lluvia, era el foco de la religión azteca y el centro mismo del mundo azteca. También era el escenario de celebraciones estatales como las coronaciones, y el lugar en el que se celebraron incontables sacrificios humanos porque se pensaba que la sangre de las víctimas alimentaría y apaciguaría a los dos grandes dioses a los que estaba dedicado el templo.

Quetzalcóatl

Quetzalcóatl (pron. Quet-zal-co-at) or 'Plumed Serpent' was one of the most important gods in ancient Mesoamerica. Quetzalcóatl was the god of winds and rain, and the creator of the world and humanity. A mix of bird and rattlesnake, his name is a combination of the Nahuatl words quetzal (the emerald plumed bird) and coatl (serpent).

In Central Mexico from 1200, the feathered serpent god was considered the patron god of priests and merchants as well as the god of learning, science, agriculture, crafts and the arts. He also invented the calendar, was identified with the Morning Star Venus, the rising morning star, he was associated with opossums and even discovered corn (maize) with the help of giant red ant that led him to a mountain packed full of grain and seeds. He was known as Kukulkán to the Maya, Gucumatz to the Quiché of Guatemala, and Ehecatl to the Gulf Coast Huastecs.

Quetzalcóatl was the son of the primordial androgynous god Ometeotl. In Aztec mythology he was the brother of Tezcatlipoca, Huizilopochtli and Xipe Totec. He is the 9th of the 13 Lords of the Day and is often associated with the rain god Tláloc. The god was particularly associated with the sacred site of Cholula, an important place of pilgrimage from 1200, and all round buildings of the Aztec culture were dedicated to the deity.

A Creator God

In the Late Postclassical period (from 1200) in Central Mexico the god came to be strongly associated with the wind (in particular as a bringer of rain clouds) and as the creator god Ehecatl-Quetzalcóatl. In Postclassical Nahua tradition Quetzalcóatl is also the creator of the cosmos along with either his brother Tezcatlipoca or Huitzilopochtli and is one of the four sons of Tonacateuctli and Tonacacihuatl, the original creator gods. After waiting for 600 years this aged couple instructed Quetzalcóatl to create the world. In some versions of the myth Quetzalcóatl and Tezcatlipoca repeatedly fight each other and as a consequence the four ages are created and destroyed with each successive battle between the two gods.

In an alternative version of creation Quetzalcóatl and Tezcatlipoca are more cooperative and together they create the sun, the first man and woman, fire and the rain gods. The pair of gods had created the earth and the sky when they transformed themselves into huge snakes and ripped in two the female reptilian monster known as Tlaltcuhtli (or Cipactli), one part becoming the earth and the other the sky. Trees, plants and flowers sprang from the dead creature's hair and skin whilst springs and caves were made from her eyes and nose and the valleys and mountains came from her mouth. In some versions of the story the divine spirit of Cipactli was understandably upset to have lost her physical body in such a brutal attack and the only way to appease her was through the sacrifice of blood and hearts and so one of the more unpalatable practices of ancient Mesoamerican culture, the ritual of human sacrifice, was justified.

Did you know Tláloc? He's one of the most important and formidable gods in the Aztec pantheon! He was considered the god of rain, water, lightning and agriculture. His name derives from the Nahuatl words tlali meaning 'earth' and oc meaning 'something on the surface'. However, the origins of the god are probably much earlier as he shares many similarities with the Olmec God IV and the Mayan God B or Chac. In the various Mesoamerican cultures Tláloc appears as Dzahui for the Mixtec and Tajίn for the Totonac. Oh, I'm rambling, sorry.

Sculpture of a Toltec Warrior from Tula, Mexico dated between 900 - 1250 on display at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, Mexico

This sculpture shows a Toltec warrior carrying a spear in his right hand, a diadem headdress and triangular breastplate similar to the Tula breastplate. The warrior is linked with the Tláloc warrior cult, which were thought to be a religious order connected with the Mesoamerican god.

El Monolito de Tláloc fue cuidadosamente extraído de su sitio original utilizando maquinaria especializada y equipos de arqueólogos. Se realizó un proceso de excavación para asegurarse de que la pieza se trasladara de manera segura.

The more I see about divinekinnity or angelkinnity, the more I have to sit here and truly think about how different my divinity is from the "norm." Yet, I realize, my divinity is the same as divinity has always been. It is merely... older.

It feels, to me, as though divinity has been... cleansed in the modern day. The days of reverence and fear towards deities such as Sekhmet, Hades, Kali, Ahriman, and Huitzilopochtli have passed. Folks expect kind deities. Deities who seek only the good of humanity, respond with only benevolence. But things were not always that way.

In the days of the Ancient Greeks, Apollo was feared by both deity and human alike. A surprise, isn't it? It mattered not that he wasn't the deity of war or some other terror-striking concept. He was the deity of prophecy, music, archery, art, healing... and yet, even the gods feared him. Because he was vindictive. He was spiteful. He was vengeful and cruel.

Tláloc, the Aztec deity of rain, fertility, and agriculture, was a deity widely considered benevolent. Yet, he was also greatly feared among the Aztec people, for he could cause floods, drought, or lightning if angered. He was considered to be temperamental and even cruel at times as well.

All that to say... the gods have never been without their anger. Without their spite and wrath and cruelty. Even those deemed benevolent or kind. They held great power, and they were well inclined to use it.

I shouldn't have to feel shame for my divinity. For the violence and cruelty that I embody. I shouldn't have to scrub these bloodstained hands clean. They are a part of me. I am the carnal. The grotesque. The brutal. My divinity is bathed in dirt and ash, it is not pure and white. My divinity is my violence.

That's not even a new concept. Ares was the Greek god of war, yes, but Enyo, his companion, was the goddess of war, bloodshed, and violence. She reveled in the drawing of blood, was said to be a terror on the battlefield. During the fall of Troy, she was said to fight any man who she came across. She fought not for sides, but to fight. To revel in violence.

There are very few deities that have not been cruel, violent, angry. I should not have to feel ashamed for it. I should not have to feel different for it.

My divinity is my violence and I think that is wonderful.
