Worship Tēzcatlīpohca as our Patron God

Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror, was a central Aztec god of the night sky, obsidian, conflict and divination. Bernardino de Sahagún's Florentine Codex records some 360 epithets for him, among them the lord of the near and nigh.

His chief festival was Toxcatl, held each May, in which a young man who had impersonated the god for a year was sacrificed. In May 1520 the Spaniards attacked the celebrants at Toxcatl, igniting open war.
