Huitzilopochtli
“Southern hummingbird” (Though it can also be translated as left-sided hummingbird)
God of war, sunrise, human sacrifice and patron of Tenochtitlán.
Since he was the patron god of the Mexica (aka Aztecs) he was credited with both, their victories and their defeats on the battlefield.
People made him sacrifices to protect themselves from the infinite night.
He wielded xiuhcoátl (a mythological fire-serpent) as a weapon.
Panquetzalizti (Flag Raising) was the aztec month dedicated to him. People decorated their home with papel flags, there were ritual races, processions, dances, songs and finally human sacrifices. This was one of the most important aztec festivals and the people prepared for a whole month. They fasted or ate very little because a statue of the god was made out of amaranth seeds and honey and everyone had to eat it.
“Sunchild; when the sun ends it’s journey to the southern hemisphere he is reborn at the beginning of the winter solistice, it’s the warrior child that must be reborn in our heart that’s on the left side”
