  Acoyauh's Aztec Legends and Myths
Originally, Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl lived in the World of Darkness, where there was no light, stars or white flowers.
But the rulers of the four cardinal points were the four brothers that created it all: Xipetotec ruled the East, Quetzalcoatl ruled the West, Huitzilopochtli ruled the south and Tezcatlipoca the North.
Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl were very pleased with the creation, and started sending little drops of light to be the souls of children, and they still send their drops to the pregnant mothers.

This dual creative principle was expressed in the form of two gods, Ometecuhtli, "two lord," and Omecíhuatl, "two lady." Both resided in Omeyocan, meaning "the place two" (Caso 9).
Aztec gods were created when Ometecuhtli and Omecíhuatl had four sons, to whom they entrusted the creation of the other gods, the world, and man. The sons were named Red Tezcatlipoca, also called Xipe or Camaxtle; Black Tezcatlipoca, commonly called Tezcatlipoca; Quetzlcoatl, the god of wind and life; and Huitzilopochtli, the Blue Tezcatlipoca.
Ometecuhtli (heaven) and Omecíhuatl (earth) represented the central direction of up and down; this symbolizes the heavens and the earth.

Ometeotl is divided into the dual components of Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl, two opposing forces of the same source.
While Ometeotl could be misconstrued as “the God and the Goddess,” this is inaccurate to Aztec belief, in which Ometeotl is merely the unconscious and uncaring source of all divinity.
Rather than being deities, Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl were primordial forces, remote and unfocused upon the mortal realm, or any other thing in particular.

Eight Motion, a young priest of Ometecuhtli the maker god, broke from his temple a few years ago and began preaching what he calls the New Temple of the Earth.
