This is my school, sadly I don’t have any other photos of how the city is.

My city, Mexico City is falling apart, my country is falling a part. We need international help, and I know a random girl with a blog isn’t gonna change the world, but I really need the world to know what’s happening on my country.

People are dying. Kids and babies are dying. Animals are dying.

Please. Please. Please. Reblog.

Mayahuel

“the one surrounding maguey”/

Goddess of maguey and drunkness, also related with fertility.

Products extracted from the maguey plant were used extensively across highlands and southeastern Mesoamerica, with the thorns used in ritual bloodletting ceremonies and fibers extracted from the leaves worked into ropes and cloth.Perhaps the most important maguey product is the alcoholic beverage known as pulque, used prominently in many public ceremonies and on other ritual occasions. By extension, Mayahuel is often shown in contexts associated with pulque. Although some secondary sources describe her as a “pulque goddess”, she remains most strongly associated with the plant as the source, rather than pulque as the end product.

Mayahuel has many breasts to feed her many children, the Centzon Totochtin (the 400 Rabbits). These are thought to be responsible for causing drunkenness.

“She was a beautiful girl who lived I’m the sky with her grandmother who was a tzinimil (Morning star) until Ehecatl, th god of wind, seduced her and covinced her to go down with him to the earth, she agreed and there they embraced so passionately they merged into one, transforming themselves into a tree with two branches to hide from Mayahuel’s grandmother. It was for naught, for as soon as morning came, Mayahuel’s grandmother and her fellow tzinimil descended from the sky to look for Mayahuel, and from the surprise it caused to see her grandmother Mayahuel let go of Ehecatl, snapping the tree in half and revealing herself. Her grandmother ashamed and enraged teared her apart and let her body behind to be eaten by the tzinimil, Ehecatl prevented that from happening for he returned to his normal apperance and buried his beloved, and there where her body rested the first maguey sprout from from the earth and Mayahuel came back to life as a Goddess”

(Leyend of Ehecatl and Mayahuel)

Malinalxochitl

“Flower of the grass”

Sorcerer. Goddess of Seprents, scorpions and insects. She could command animals. Sister to Huitzilopochtli.

She terrorized the mexica during their peregrination previous to Tenochtitlán’s foundation, devouring human hearts, the mexicas went to her brother Huitzilopochtli to ask for help, and he decided to leave her behind while she was sleeping. When she awoke surrounded only by her people and servants she was furious and decided to found her own city called Malinalco.

“Morning came and Malinalxochitl found herself only in the company of her people and servants, no trace of her brother or the mexicas. Malinalxochitl cried in pain and rage, hurt by her brother’s betrayal… She took her servants advice and went in a different direction, finding a suitable place to stablish themselves which they called Malinalco in honor to their goddess. The people from Malinalco even today are thought to be sorcerers and warlocks”

(Fragment of The Legend of Aztlan)

Tlaloc

“Nectar of the earth”

God of Lightning, rain and earthquakes. He reigns over the fourth layer of the upper world, or heavens, which is called Tlalocan (“place of Tlaloc”) which is described as a place of unending springtime and a paradise of green plants, Tlalocan was the destination in the afterlife for those who died violently from phenomena associated with water, such as by lightning, drowning, and water-borne diseases.These violent deaths also included leprosy, venereal disease, sores, dropsy, scabies, gout, and child sacrifices.

The Nahua believed that Huitzilopochtli could provide them with fair weather for their crops and they placed an image of Tlaloc, who was the rain-god, near him so that if necessary, the war god could compel the rain maker to exert his powers.

Atlcahualo (cessation of water) the first month of the Aztec calendar (from February 12 to March 3) children sacrifices were made in his honor to have a prosperous raining season.

His animal forms include: herons, amphibians, snails and shellfish.

Cempasuchil was also associated with him.

“It is said

that when it rains

It’s our god Tlaloc

Fecunding the earth,

She opens her navel

To let his seed bloom”

(Fragment of poem “It is said” by Edgar Tonatiuh)

I learned in a Latin Studies class (with a chill white dude professor) that when the Europeans first saw Aztec cities they were stunned by the grid. The Aztecs had city planning and that there was no rational lay out to European cities at the time. No organization.

Xochiquetzal

“Precious fethered flower”

Goddess of Beauty, flowers, pleasure and arts. Protector and muse of artists, weavers, soldaderas, goldsmiths, painters, prostitutes and pregnant woman. She was also the patron of housework.

Campasúchil (Marigold) flowers were consacreted to her. Xochiquetzal was invoked to obtain beauty, to survive a dangerous situation, when making crafts, to achieve fertility, for birthing labor, good crops, dancing, music, singing, the recovery after a disaster, the herbolary, sexual freedom, to talk about love, achieve a good weave, sexual pleasure, erotism, and achive an stable marriage.

Feathers, dasies and small fragments of tile with her painted image where the best offerings for the Xochiquetzal.

She’s the twin sister of Xochipilli. Her first husband was Tláloc (god of water), though she later married Ixotecuhtli (god of freedom), Piltzintecuhtli (god hallucinogean plants) and Centeot (god of corn)l. She was also lover to Tezcatlipoca (god of war).

She lives in the ninth heaven, the region of Iztehecayan (obsidian wind, a desolate frozen place and abrupt stone, a mountai range with sharp edges composed of eight hills in which it always fell snow) and she is a dual Goddess associated with both the sun and the moon.

She was followed by a retinue consisting of birds and butterflies. Worshippers wore animal and flower masks at a festival, held in her honor every eight years.

Before me stood

a beautiful apparition.

I found that fountain

of radiant beauty

full of light and energy

This little fountain

fills me with love, youth

happiness and joy

It’s blessed light, illuminates

my life, gifting

youth to my heart.

This little fountain is

my Goddess Xochiquetzal!

the most beautiful goddess

on the aztec land

daughter of the rose and the sun

giving eternal youth

to my veteran heart.

(Fragment of the poem “Beautiful Fountain” by Carlos Zitro)
