	Tecciztecatl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Aztec mythology, Tecciztecatl ("old moon god"; also Tecuciztecal, Tecuciztecatl) was a lunar deity, representing the old "man-on-the-moon".
		He could have been the sun god, but he feared the sun's fire, so Nanahuatzin became the sun god and Tecciztecatl (in the form of a rabbit) was promptly thrown into the moon.
		In some depictions he carried a large, white seashell on his back, representing the moon itself; in others he had butterfly wings.

		Those who worshipped her were the first Inquisition victims to be burned as witches, though not the first victims of persecution as witches nor the first victims of the Inquisiton.
		A feminine lunar connection is easily overstated, however, for male lunar gods are also frequent, such as Nanna or Sin of the Mesopotamians, Mani of the Germanic tribes, Thoth of the Egyptians, the Japanese god Tsukiyomi, and Tecciztecatl of the Aztecs.
		In Norse mythology, Mani was the god of the moon and a son of Mundilfari and Glaur.

		Before the dawn of the fifth, our present world, all the gods assembled in darkness to decide who should have the honor--and a dangerous honor it turned out to be to light up the fifth world, and with it the fifth sun.
		After days of purification, the gods built a huge fire on the top of a pyramid and told Tecciztecatl: "Light up the world!" "How?" asked Tecciztecatl, dressed in irridescent hummingbird feathers and jewels of gold and turquoise.
		Then the lowliest of all the gods, Nanautzin, dressed in humble garments of woven reeds, misshapen, ugly, and covered with scabs, offered to renew the world and light up the sun by jumping into the fire.

	H-Net Review: John Frederick Schwaller on Myths of Ancient Mexico
		One was Nanahuatl, the "Pimply One," the other, Tecciztecatl, "He of the Conch Shell." They were distinct opposites, one handsome, the other ugly, one wealthy, the other poor.
		In the end the ugly one, Nanahuatl, took the plunge first and became the greater light, the handsome one, Tecciztecatl, was fainthearted, took the leap of immolation second, and eventually became the moon.
		Nanahuatl is associated with Quetzalcoatl, Tecciztecatl with Tezcatlipoca.

		As an example of designing a deck around narrow cards, consider your basic corruption-destruction deck that is built around the damage and destruction abilities shared by minions from these dooms:
		In this deck, Nahual, Spirit of Malevolence, The Amazing Bobo, Tecciztecatl, Spiteful Flame, and Transfix are "gotcha" cards.
		Mecatl, Bringer of Sacrifice, Sanguimancer, and Tzi Tzi Tzo are cheap minions used to flesh out the curve.

	History of the Maya
		Teotihuacán (place of the gods), was founded early in the first century as a religious centre in a fertile valley 50 km northeast of today's Mexico City where, according to the legend, the gods had met to determine which of them would bring light to the earth that was still dark and lifeless.
		Two volunteers had approached the sacrificial fire, handsome Tecciztecatl and ugly Nanauatl who jumped in without hesitation and was transformed into a bright sun while Tecciztecatl, who hesitated, was transformed into a pale moon.
		The cult of the Sun and the Moon was successful in arousing religious fervour mobilising large populations into building an empire that dominated the central Mexican highlands for more than seven centuries.
