	Tonantzin
		Their gods, particularly the so-called "household gods" (as opposed the deities of the state religion) were their versions of the ancient gods and goddesses who were worshipped from time immemorial throughout Mesoamerica, and which have traits in common with ancient beliefs from all over the world.
		It is generally believed by anthropologists that the Virgin of Guadalupe and Tonantzin are one in the same, and that this is one of many examples of how ancient Indian beliefs have become fused into the unique spiritual reality of "modern" Mexicans.
		Just as Tonantzin lives on in her new incarnation, as it were, as the Virgin of Guadalupe, the old beliefs here have never really died, but continue to have new life breathed into them by each new generation of believers who grow up in this culture.

		Tonantzin was the goddess of earth and corn and the name means “our mother" in Nahuatl, the Mexica language.

		The Nonsense of Tonantzin -- Pope Legitimizes Reconquista Icon
		Today, Chicano revolutionaries worship the original Tonantzin as the goddess that will lead the children of Aztlan into the promised land, not the Fransiscan's reconstructed blessed Virgin Mary.
		This is often accompanied by apparitions of the Virgin of Guadalupe which have been associated with very common things such as a mere knot in a tree or a flaw in the glass of a department store window."
