The mother of the aztec creation story was “Coatlique”, the lady of the skirt of snakes. She was created in the image of the unknown, decorated with skulls, snakes and lacerated hands. There are no cracks in her body and she is perfect monolith (a totality of intensity and self-containment, yet her features were square and decapitated).
Coatalique was first impregnated by an odsidian knife and gave birth to Coyolxanuhqui, goddess of themoon, and to a group of male offspring, who became the stars. Then one day Coatlique found a ball of feathers, which she tuckedinto her bosom. When she looked for it later it was gone, at which time she realized she was again pregnant. Her children, the moon and the stars did not believe her story. Ashamed of their mother, they resolved to kill her. A goddess could only give birth once, to the original litter of divinity and no more. During the time that they were plotting her demise, Coatlique gave birth to the fiery god of war, Huitzilopochtli. With the the help of the fiery serpent, he destroyed his brothers and sisters, murdering them in range. He beheaded Coyolxauhqui and threw her body into a deep gorge in a mountain, where it lies desembled forever.
The natural cosmos of the indians was born of catastrophe. The heavens literally crumbled to pieces. The earth mother fell and was fertilized, while her children were torn apart by fractricide and them scattered and disjointed throughout the universe.
These stories might seem a bit off the wall but this is what they believed. And coming from a mexican descendant family i have herd that the aztecs were very powerful and intelectual and very spiritual people that they could move huge rock boulders with their minds. They were suppose to have some sort of telechenisis. The aztecs would communicate through their minds and would speak to their ancestors for advice and to the gods in their temples. I have herd that aztecs as well as the myans were hidden in the temples after the whole columbus period . the truth or myth is that they’ve been alive since then in there mystical powers and will wait until the end of the earth when is suppose to end. It has been said that when people visit the temple sometimes they see these mysterious face painted magical beings.
