Coyolxauhqui Moon Godessby *Cangrejo-Volador

Digital Art / Drawings / Fantasy

Coatlicue was the earth goddes of the Aztecs, and mother of Coyolxauhqui and other 400 brothers ( the stars). But Coatlicue picked up a blue feather from the ground and got pregnant. When Coyolxauhqui knew this she was outraged, and leadered her 400 brothers to kill their mother. They found coatlicue at the top of Coatepec ( snake hill) but before they could reach Coatlicue, Huitzilopochtli was born with the first Sun ray, the Sun God of war decapitated Coyolxauhqui and killed his 400 brothers.

This story represents the conflict between night and day, and how the Sun comes out of the earth's belly to kill the Moon and the stars every day.

why would they try to kill their mother because she was to due?

*Cangrejo-Volador Jul 7, 2012

because their mother didnt know the father, and they felt she had brought dishonor to all of them.
