"When Spanish friars demanded that the Aztecs destroy their gods, the priests replied, enigmatically, 'our gods are already dead'."

The Teteoh are so fucking metal.

When Tlaozolteol presents the beheaded corn snake, a metaphor for desire - She is showing us its sacredness. Even the corn snake bleeds the sacred fluid.

In opening the snake, She reveals its inner divinity.

In opening the snake, She makes us and our desires whole.

Finished my longest water fast yet - due to bad math I thought it was going to be 36 hours, but turned out to be 40.

Vivid dreams returned last night and keto flu hit bad this morning, so I ended the fast with gentle protein. Was spiritually rewarding, fruitful, and challenging.

Yesterday the month of Toxcatl ended, and the confessionary is closed again for another year, which was the occasion for the fast.

There is now one week left of the Mexica "month" of Toxcatl, whereupon the Confessionary will be closed for another year.

My confession-taking practice is in honor of Tlazolteotl, She Who Devours Our Transgressions, the Great Mother always listening, hearing, healing. It's also in honor of my ancestors, all of whom took too much with them to the grave.

It's 11pm. Will the bus come? Who knows! Guess I'll be working on my #mexicayotl wiki in the meantime: http://amoxtli.teochan.org

The conversations here around the risks of storing information and community knowledge on for-profit social media platforms that were never designed to be such had me thinking about what more I can do to safeguard the knowledge my tiny online #mexicayotl community has put together.

So I made a wiki: http://amoxtli.teochan.org/
