Just as an FYI we need to move away from using the term “Aztec” as that is a coloniser given name to the indigenous Mexica

Introduction!
My name is Itztli, my pronouns are they/she and I have ADHD and ASD. I am a devotee of La Santisima Muerte and it was when I started working/following Her that I was led to this path I am on now: reconnecting to my family and our roots.
As I started to follow La Muerte, I also began to dabble in and pick up some practices. At first they were broad and open things that devotees no matter if they were Mexican could practice, but then the more stories of Her origins and roots pointed right at the peoples and places my grandpa was constantly talking about in my childhood.
So I’ve since taken a slight pause from witchcraft, focusing on my indigenous roots and reconnecting as I’ve never fully identified with being Mexican or Chicano. It was part of the puzzle, but I found what I was missing. I’m indigenous, I’m Nahua and Mixtec and that specification has just fit and clicked with me perfectly. The creation myths, the teotl and ideology clicked as well, in ways religions my family has tried to ingrain in me never did.
Since I’ve taken a step back from witchcraft, I only really practice tarot, pendulum work and protective magic or simple manifesting spells.
That’s about it for my (new/revised) introduction. The focus of this blog will be my journey of reconnecting and sharing what I can and what is appropriate to share.

Located in Cañada de La Virgen (The Valley of the Virgin), an area about 30 miles outside the city of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico's central highlands, the stone formations blended into the arid, desiccated landscape like a diminutive mountain range.
Locals had long been aware of the ruins outside their city. Some rumoured that there were dead people buried in the stone pyramids, while others spoke of hidden gold. Grave diggers had looted the structures and even tried to blow them up with dynamite, but whether they found any fortunes is not recorded. Unexcavated for centuries, the site remained largely unknown to the world beyond San Miguel de Allende, until a team of Mexican archaeologists started digging deeper in the early 2000s.
In their architectural design, they mimicked what happened during the creation of the world as they knew it. According to indigenous oral history, Quiroz explained, the sacred entities created the world, space and life, and gave humans the Sun as a reference for telling time. "Therefore, humans had to replicate that organisation on Earth. First you organised the four corners of the world. And then the Sun moves throughout all four corners during the year. So, what you are seeing in the temple is a replica of what happened during the first creation of the universe."

So like, I'm seeing such posts like "Namor this, Namor that but I was looking at [x person]. The straights are so annoying," (hi, I'm bi. We exist and also find Tenoch to be hot).
While I normally would be on board with this kind of sentiment and I get it, (cause again, hi, I'm bi), I would just like to remind yall that José Tenoch Huerta Mejía is a 41-year-old Mexican actor of Indigenous descent. Indigenous inclusion in both Hollywood and Latin television/ cinema is rare to come by, as is seeing them getting their flowers.
I would also like to point y'all to this tweet:
Tumblr media
Darker-skinned Mexicans have a notoriously harder time getting on screen because of such concepts like Latinidad & Latin America's constant reach towards Spain (and by extension, whiteness).
All I'm saying is, let him have this. Our peoples rarely ever get this.
