TECUCIZTECATL
Picture of TECUCIZTECATL
/Also known as TECCIZTECATL, TECUCIZTECAL/
*TECUCIZTECATL:* God of the Moon. But he started off as a lowly God
of Snails and Worms.
Hoping to improve his slimey status, he volunteered to jump into the
sacrificial flames to become the sun. But he lost his nerve at the last
minute and NANAUTZIN beat him to it.
Ashamed, he leapt after her, but most of the fire had turned to ash. An
eagle swooped down and carried them both to the sky. The sunny NANAUTZIN
shone resplendent, but cowardly
TECUCIZTECATL made a very
feeble moon. The Gods jeered and threw a rabbit at him.
Although he changed his name to METZLI
to avoid embarrassment, he still
bears the bruises to this day. Go take a look. Join the dots ? or in
this case craters ? and see if you can spot the rabbit outline.
