There is now one week left of the Mexica "month" of Toxcatl, whereupon the Confessionary will be closed for another year.

My confession-taking practice is in honor of Tlazolteotl, She Who Devours Our Transgressions, the Great Mother always listening, hearing, healing. It's also in honor of my ancestors, all of whom took too much with them to the grave.

Tlazolteotl, Goddess of transgressive sexuality and desire, She Who inspires lust and She Who heals our excesses. A WIP.🙏
She is traditionally depicted by black paint around the mouth, a symbol of her role as Filth- or Sin-Eater.
Inspired by this post, which is about Eros but I feel describes Her in its description of the gravitational force between people: https://mas.to/@[email protected]al/110481744331499526

The conversations here around the risks of storing information and community knowledge on for-profit social media platforms that were never designed to be such had me thinking about what more I can do to safeguard the knowledge my tiny online #mexicayotl community has put together.
So I made a wiki: http://amoxtli.teochan.org/

I have a book about #Malinche with this painting by Alfredo Ramos Martínez from 1940 as the cover, and I've begun to use her as the face of all my women ancestor workings since I don't have any good photos of my great-grandmothers. I set up a small little shrine for my first #MothersNight last night, using the book, lighting a candle, and offering some cranberry beer.
CW for eye contact.

In much #indigenous #mesoamerican #spiritual thought, there is no enemy of the Gods, no enemy of creation. Every agent of #teotl, every being, lives in conviviality with every other being and has a purpose that serves creation.

@khthoniaa In #Huehuemexicayotl we've decided that the term "working with" is reserved for people with especially intimate, long-term relationships with the #Teteo who perform a specific community function, or people who have been trained in an indigenous lineage to do "work" with Them. If your relationship with the Teteo is one of self-betterment, that's not enough to claim you are participating in co-creation with Them. We require that everyone in the community has the baseline humility to 1/
Just getting this out there before the idea has much of a chance to take root here, but:
#Ometeotl is not a God, it is not even a historical #Aztec #Mexica concept. It is a word invented in the #ColonialEra to try and get the Nahuas to warm up to #monotheism. #Omeyocan, "Place of Duality" exists, but it is home to two named deities, #Omecacihuatl and #Ometecuhtli. Ometeotl might be used in liturgy to refer to creation, but it is not a thing to pray to.
