	The Aztec Gateway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Centeotl wasn’t merely misplaced in the “Goddess Candle Colors” list, he was misrepresented: the text itself discussing Centeotl referred to him as a goddess.
		Though I'd never seen Centeotl referred to as a goddess before, the misinformation wasn't really shocking to me. I can see how that mistake could be made, as there is a female corn deity, and many people make mistakes with the Aztec pantheon because it's not one of the more familiar ones.
		In addition to my own observations, a few others spoke up amidst the cacaphony to confess that they as well had seen inaccuracies towards their own pantheons in the "goddess" list, but had not voiced them because they were afraid of getting the kind of reaction I had.
