It's the Day of Selene / Luna's Day / #Monday! 🌛

For #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth I'm introducing Native American deities 🌎

In #AztecMythology, Tecciztecatl is the moon. #Tecciztecatl insisted on becoming the sun but at the last moment hesitated. Angry at Tecciztecatl, the gods threw a rabbit at him leaving an imprint of the rabbit's shape and dimming his brightness so much that he can only be seen at night.
