TLAKA·NEXKIMILLI the Dead Bundle
(tlah-kah nesh-kee-me-lee)
In Mexico, the recently deceased were wrapped before being cremated and sat with the family for 4 days.
It is told that the ghost of the dead could appear moaning and writhing on the ground to warn of a bad omen.
KWITLA·PANTON the Dung Dwarf
( Kwee-tlah pahn-tohn)
People were discouraged to relieve themselves in the bushes. Why? because mid-squat this small lady could appear and scare the shit out of you (literally).
If you tried to catch her, she would just vanish into thin air.
YOWAL·TEPOSTLI the Night-Axe
(Yoh-wahl teh-pohs-tlee)
If you’re ever walking alone at night and hear the sound of chopping wood…RUN! That is the sound this ghost makes as its rib cage slams together and is how it got its name.
His Nawal is Yowal Oselotl, the Night-Jaguar, Guardian of the night who is said to appear from the shadows to devour man's heart.
The Jaguar is associated with Nahualism in Aztec culture, the power of shape-shifting, and is considered to be the original Nawalli shapeshifter.
Teskatlipoka (Tes-kahtl-ipoh-kah)
Color: Black
Direction: North
Daysign: Reed
He is one of the 4 Sacred Forces representing Conflict as the night brings out our enemies and fears. His name Smoking Mirror is a metaphor for the night-sky which looks like a giant obsidian mirror!
Just finished inking all 60 Nawals for the NAWALLI card game🥲
@CroiNaCu has been coloring and shadowing right behind me so we can have it ready for @TxLatinoComics!
