JAGOTD Huitzilopochtli |
Huitzilopochtli [Uitzilopochtli (wee-tsee-loh-poch'-tlee)](humming-bird of
the south)
Aztec
Cult center: Tenochtitlan
A rather busy god, a solar as well as war god. Among the animal kingdom,
his manifestation is the hummingbird (nahualli). This is also the symbol of
the sun. For a weapon he prefers the turquoise snake, which is the symbol
of all earthly and heavenly fires. Because he's the adversary of the moon
and stars, he embodies the morning sun, daytime sky, the summer as well the
South. If you assume that he is the luminous adversary of Tezcatlipoca,
pat yourself on the back because you are correct.
