The Three Animistic Forces

Upon Death

This image depicts the souls of the body when one dies. The first one can be seen on the top of the head in the shape of a serpent and probably represents the tonalli. The second is represented by the head of Ehecatl the wind teoti, and represents the teyolia which carries the spirit to its resting place. And the third is the ihiyotl (night wind) represented by the large red serpent which escapes the body as gasses.

The skeleton can be seen falling backwards away from the spirit forces.
