#Yacatecuhtli is a patron god of commerce and travellers in #AztecMythology. His symbol is a bundle of sticks because merchants carried a cane as they moved from village to village peddling their wares. Sprinkling them with blood from their ears in Yacatecuhtli's honour should guarantee success & protection on their journeys.

In #AztecMythology, Tecciztecatl is the moon. #Tecciztecatl insisted on becoming the sun but at the last moment hesitated. Angry at Tecciztecatl, the gods threw a rabbit at him leaving an imprint of the rabbit's shape and dimming his brightness so much that he can only be seen at night.

According to #AztecMythology, Earth and its beings had been created five times and were ruled by five different suns. Tonatiuh's appearance as the fifth and final sun took place in the city of Teotihuacan. #Tonatiuh rose weakly and did not move until the wind god #Ehecatl blew Tonatiuh into motion.

Āhuiatēteoh or Mācuīltōnalequeh are a group of five #Aztec gods of excess and pleasure. #Mācuīltōchtli (Five Rabbit) is the god of drunkenness. In #MexicanMythology, rabbits are associated with pulque (agave wine) and the "400 rabbits" are a group of divine #rabbits who meet for frequent drunken parties.

Things I learned and like to share:
Mictlan—Aztec's Underworld—consisted of nine distinct levels.
The journey through it took 4 years.
With a Xolo dog as only help, the dead had to cross between crashing mountains, a wind of flesh-scraping knives, and a river of blood with fearsome jaguars.
