                                               Huitzilopōchtli 

 is a deity of war, sun, human sacrifice, and the patron of the city of Tenochtitlan. He was also the national god of the Mexicas, also known as Aztecs, of Tenochtitlan. Many in the pantheon of deities of the Aztecs were inclined to have a fondness for a particular aspect of warfare. However, Huitzilopochtli was known as the primary god of war in ancient Mexico.

He wielded Xiuhcoatl as a weapon, associating him with fire. In the tlaxotecuyotl, a hymn sung in reverence to Huitzilopotchtli, he is referred to as: the Dart-Hurler, the divine hurler, and a terror to the Mixteca.

Rán is Goddess of the sea in Norse mythology. Rán and her husband Ægir, (God of the sea) have nine beautiful daughters called “The Waves” each of which represents a different type of wave. The goddess is frequently associated with a magical net which she uses to try and capture men who venture out in to the sea which is also referred to as “Rán’s Road.”
