	Reports Submitted to FAMSI - William Barnes
		The most extensive descriptions of the costume of the deity Xipe Totec (as differentiated from the costume of his "assistants / impersonators" or xipeme [plural of xipe]) are in Fray Bernardino de Sahagún’s sixteenth century Florentine Codex.
		This costume of Xipe as the patron of goldsmiths is practically the same as that described for the ruler.
		When a shield is present in the depiction of Xipe, then, it seems that the presence of the tripartite shield may reference the ruler, where the other shields with concentric circles reference different aspects of the supernatural and his cult.

	THE FLAYED LORD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		The most common motif found in Xipe sculpture and painting is the true pair of lips closed behind the open mouth of his mask of human skin.
		Xipe is mostly an agricultural deity, especially because his skinless body acts as a metaphor for the necessity of the seed to emerge from its husk before it can grow.
		Since Xipe Totec is most revered as a fertility deity, it should not be a surprise to find this piece in the Rain Lord's half of the Great Temple.

	The Metal Crypt - Reviews
		Another metal band that actually KNOW how to use their keyboards (still a rare breed.) The vocals are of the guttural variety, but more of a raw style than the "I'm puking all over the place"-type of deep growls that some bands use.
		Origin of the name "Xipe Totec": It is the name of an old Aztec festival celebrating death and rebirth.
		The Aztec priests would ritually sacrifice a young man or woman, then flay the skin off the body, and then one of the priests would reappear before the public wearing the skin, as if the sacrifice victim had been reborn.
