Huitzilopochtli, the god of blood (war and the sun) for no other reason than his symbol/messanger, is a hummingbird. And I love the idea of a little hummingbird opening its tiny beak and shouting, "THE BLOOD GOD DEMANDS A SACRIFICE!!!" So loud the earth shakes.

Mictlantecuhtli is one of my favorite Aztec gods. He is the god of the underworld, death and was one of the most feared gods. I also like Xipe Totec, Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, and Huitzilopochtli. The children of the god Ōmeteōtl.

Mine is definitely Xōchipilli, god of art, games, dance, flowers, and song.

Wow! You grew up without running water, O Dr. McT? I'm glad you were able to escape that misfortune.

[עומרשרייבר-לר]

Its hard to choose since aztac is a pretty interesting mythology (and also incredible metal) but I think I will go with good ole Quetzalcoatl.

Centzon Totochtin, the 400 drunken bunny gods. 'nough said.

Hoping we can actually cover Nahuatl philosophy and the cyclical nature of all things.

[sannvii]

it's actually impossible to choose a favorite in hinduism, there are 33 million gods according to most sources! (also this fact has been passed down from generation-to-generation & my grandma told me about it)

[mathieuleader]

Aztec gods that don't drink are Teatotl

[UpstandingCitizn]

Where did you grow up that you had no running water?

[bezbezzebbyson]

Serious question is teotl a loanword from spanish? It's teo- and a case marker -tl. The teo part is it a loanword?

[EEGAR]

Where r u even getting these pronounciations from its literally just like spanish but cuh is kw, uh is w, and tl is tl not tol (just use a t if the word ends in tl if u cant pronounce it) its not that hard like u literally have a phd in this how do u not know this

[SirTallstone]

Who is the actual creator? I hate channels like this
