Chiconahui Tecpatl
Chiconahui Tecpatl, the Nine of Flints, which corresponds to the Nine of Swords in the standard Tarot, portrays a young man plagued by dark dreams. He is kept awake by dark thoughts, or woken from nightmares that leave him afraid, disquieted, and anxious. His blanket is woven with symbols of Quetzalcoatl, the Lord of Creation, who is also the lord of the wind. These are cut conch shells, which symbolise the wind which can blow you in any direction; which can be the hurricane as well as the gentle breeze. The other symbol on his blanket is a cross, which symbolises the crossroads, and the different directions one can take there. The Nine of Flints symbolises excessive worry, dark thoughts about things which one cannot change. The future will be a gale or a breeze, the crossroads will take you to places and challenges unknown, but worry, fear, and anxiety will not help you on your path. The Chiconahui Tecpatl card councils care of fear and worry, for it can become a prophecy which self fulfils, and suggests that worry, like dreams, can be insubstantial.
