Omacatl (Acatl) [Two Reeds]
Aztec
He is considered an aspect, an aspect of the god Tezcatlipoca. Even though
he is a god of feasting and revelry, he was worshiped by eating a maize
effigy during his festivals. Of course the rich worshipped him the most,
because he was also consider a god of joy, happiness and festivity. But if
you pulled a social gaffe during his festivities, your host could invoke
him and make you ill.
He is classed as one of the Tezcatlipoca complex.
