Worship Xiuhtēcuhtli as our Patron God

Xiuhtecuhtli, the Turquoise Lord or Lord of Fire, was the Aztec god of fire, heat and the year, whom they identified with the North Star. A sacred fire was always kept burning in his temples.

At each meal the Aztecs flung the first mouthful into the hearth in gratitude for fire. In the feast of Izcalli, boys hunted small water creatures in the swamps and offered them to the elders who guarded the fire god, receiving tamales in return.
