AZTEC MAGIC

A Monograph by Walter Cobb

CopyrightStarlight Books2014

According to legend, the Aztecs arrived from a


place in the north called "the place of the seven
caves," and settled in a valley around Lake
Texcoco, in the centre of modern Mexico City. The
Aztec were guided by the "Hummingbird from the
South," and when they arrived at the lake, they saw
an eagle which was perched on a cactus devouring
a snake, on an island in the lake.
This vision fulfilled a prophecy and the
Aztecs built the city of Tenochtitlan on a great
artificial island, which today is in the heart of
Mexico City.
The Aztecs believed in four great ages,
known as the Five Suns, that preceded the
present world each of which ended in a
catastrophe.
Our age, the fifth age, escaped destruction
due to the sacrifice of a god "full of sores," who
was transformed into the Sun.
Important in Aztec religion were the sun,
moon and the planet Venus, all of which held
different meanings and were connected to different
deities and places.
The Aztec pantheon is comprised of many
gods related to different themes . For the Aztecs
especially important deities were Quetzalcoatl
god of civilization and order, and Tezcatlipoca a
god of destiny and fortune. Each of these gods
were both worshipped in an Aztec religious
practice in which living persons would
impersonate specific deities and be revered as a
god, and often ritually sacrificed.
Lesser gods worshipped by the Aztecs
include:

Ayauhteotl - goddess of vanity and fame -


Venus
Chantico - goddess of personal treasure - Sun
Chiconahui - a fertility goddess - Venus
Cochimetl - god of commerce, bartering,
and merchants - Sun
Huehuecoyotl - god of indulgence -
Venus
Itzpapalotl - a night demon - Moon
Tonatiuh - a sun god and heavenly
warrior - Sun
WORKING WITH THE AZTEC GODS

Glance through the list of Aztec gods, the desires


those gods control, and the celestial body
associated with each god for what you desire. If
you desire a luxurious new home, big screen TVs
in every room, an indoor swimming pool, or any
other outrageous indulgence, Huehuecoyotl can
help you to realize it. A need to succeed in
business can be fulfilled by Cochimetl. If you wish
an enemy to be tormented by bad dreams,
Itzpapalotls help should be sought. if you wish to
receive a dose of prosperity, then Chantico is the
one to call. The only other thing you need to know
is that the tl in a gods name is pronounced
tel.
