Artist
Fernando Martínez Águila (M.Aguila)Description
What did ometeotl create?
Ometeotl was thought and invented to constitute the beginning and generate everything that exists.
It was the first divine manifestation that gave rise to everything. In the native Mexican language, the word “God” does not exist as such.
But in their own language the word “Ometeotl” encompasses the creator of everything, the beginning, the only one.
The Tezcatlipocas in Mexica mythology are the gods who made the vertical and horizontal universe of the Nahuatl cosmogony,?
being the only children of the original couple Ometecuhtli and Omecíhuatl,? from which they received the ability of creation.
For the Mexica, the four Tezcatlipocas are Yayauhqui Tezcatlipoca (Dark Tezcatlipoca),
Tlatlauhqui Tezcatlipoca (Red Tezcatlipoca or Xipe Tótec),
Tezouhqui Tezcatlipoca (Blue Tezcatlipoca), known as Huitzilopochtli, and Iztac Tezcatlipoca (White Tezcatlipoca) or QuetzalcóatlTry it!
