 | | 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. |
