#mexicayotl — Public Fediverse posts

"When Spanish friars demanded that the Aztecs destroy their gods, the priests replied, enigmatically, 'our gods are already dead'."

The Teteoh are so fucking metal.

When Tlaozolteol presents the beheaded corn snake, a metaphor for desire - She is showing us its sacredness. Even the corn snake bleeds the sacred fluid.

In opening the snake, She reveals its inner divinity.

In opening the snake, She makes us and our desires whole.

Finished my longest water fast yet - due to bad math I thought it was going to be 36 hours, but turned out to be 40.

Vivid dreams returned last night and keto flu hit bad this morning, so I ended the fast with gentle protein. Was spiritually rewarding, fruitful, and challenging.

Yesterday the month of Toxcatl ended, and the confessionary is closed again for another year, which was the occasion for the fast.

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.

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.

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.

Hello brave new mastodony world! I guess I'll introduce myself for posterity:

I'm a #polytheist #pagan and practicing #zen #buddhist #mexicayotl (a revived #religion based on the traditions of my ancestors in #mexico). I mostly talk about #theology, #history, #meditation, #art and #arttheory, #antihumanism and #posthumanism, #decolonialism, #transrights, #ancestorwork, and #monasticism among other things.

Hoping to get to know some folks here, as well as lure more people away from Twatter 👀
