Every 52 years the Aztec held a ritual called the New Fire Ceremony. They feared that when the sun set on that day, it would never rise again. It needed to be renewed. Every fire was extinguished and a new one was started which was then spread around the empire.

Good morning

A reminder there's a piece of Aztec art where Huehuecoyotl is about to bareback a human, all while making out with an eagle

...I *think* that's what's going on anyway

This picture gets more bizarre the more I look at it

Is he swallowing a snake too?

Did you say you're ending the final prompt with... CHOCOLATE?!?

(1/2) Based on an aspect of Quetzalcoatl where he gave cacao seeds as a gift to the Aztecs. This one'd be pure Poison or Poison/Fairy!

at first i thought it was supposed to be a very stylized depiction of Huitzilopochtli, a god of war and very important figure to the Mexica (Aztecs) :O

I could be entirely wrong tho, who knows
