“She was her own spectacular individual. Perhaps I was still sanctimoniously belittling the two roles she was ultimately most proud of, unable to accept that the same degree of fulfillment may await those who wish to nurture and love as those to seek to earn and create. Her art was the love that beat on in her loved ones, a contribution to the world that could be just as monumental as a song or a book.”

- Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

“Return of the Great Jaguar”

Today is the day Chicome Malinalli, Nine Grass. It is ruled by Patecatl, who is the lord of Pulque (and tequila and mezcal), and the lord of medicine. He guides us towards the joys and the follies of drunkenness, and he cures our bodies and our spirits.

The Teyollia, or Heart-Souls, of people born on this day, have as a Tonal, a Spirit-Animal, a butterfly. It is a a White Chalk Butterfly, which symbolizes the souls of brave warriors who die in battle. They will be brave like warriors, with hearts guided by the butterfly.

Xiuhtecuhtli, the Turquoise Lord, peers out the face of the butterfly. It is also his Spirit Animal. He is the Lord of Fire, Time, and Wisdom. Therefore He gives these qualities to those who share His Tonal, His Spirit Animal, born on this day.

“‘You did not rescue me,’ Casiopea replied. ‘I opened that chest. Besides, I wasn’t a princess in a tower. I knew I’d get away one way or another, and I was not waiting for a god to liberate me.’” - from Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-García.
