La Virgin de Guadalupe is another mother figure. She is the Aztec goddess Tonantzin, the indigenous New World answer to the goddess religions that were destroyed during the Neolithic Age around the fringes of the Mediterranean world. La Virgin de Guadalupe exists because Quetzalcóatl (the monotheistic feathered-serpent god who can fly and is of heavens) could not erase the goddess worship in indigenous America. Perhaps the cult of Quetzalcóatl chose not to erase the goddess cult, after all, Quetzalcóatl was not like the Yahweh of the Old Testament. He was not a thundering god of vengeance, he was a god of the fields of civilization. Quetzalcóatl and the cult of goddess worship went hand in hand. But Quetzalcóatl flew too high. One reason for his banishment is that he mared with his 'sister,' a heavenly sister of the starry skies. The feathered energy of his nature drew him toward the heavens, and thus separated him from the earth energy, the intuitive energy wound up in procreation and nurturing. He should have mated with the Earth goddess and thus preserved his serpent earth energy and procreative powers. Or at least he should have kept the energy of these polarities in balance, in harmony, able to wed the intuitive with the rational, the earth-creative with the aspirations to the spiritual. In a sense, Quetzalcóatl deserted the fields, the earth, and his people, and as such, except for the words of a few Chicano writers and poets, he passed out of our consciousness. In Mesoamerica he was easily replaced by the Catholic Cristo. But not the earth goddess Tonantzin. She lives on in La Virgin de Guadalupe. Quetzalcóatl was banished. He traveled east to be absorbed into flames, into Venus as the morning star, into the sunlight of dawn. Tonantzin, the earth goddess, did not flee, nor was she banished from the hearts of her people. The Spanish friars knew they could not destroy the adoration of the goddess. The ties to the earth were too deep in the ancient Mexicans. The church could stamp out Quetzalcoatl (after all, the god had already forsaken his people just before the arrival of the Europeans), and so Cristo did not have the competition of a strong, indigenous male god. But the natives would not let go of the goddess of the earth. She is incorporated into the pantheon of the Catholic Church as La Virgen de Guadalupe. The smartest move the Church ever made in the Americas was not to fight this syncretic impulse. The female goddess was imprinted in the psyche of the people of the Americas. The goddess created, nurtured, provided. She is seen in corn, the sustenance of much of the New World. She spoke to the god of rain on behalf of the farmers. All attributes of La Virgen. And so the female (anima) of the human psyche remains represented as an active force in our lives. Take whatever route you like to the past, you will discover the prototypes of La Virgen. Her role remains the feminine sensibility with which we identify. For the male she is a living presence of the anima within, the female within.
