Nanahuatzin, an old and sick Lord, had the courage to throw Himself into the fire and became the Sun. Tecciztecatl, embarrassed, jumped into the fire, but only ashes were left. He then became the Moon
Nanahuatzin, the most humble of the Aztec gods, sacrificed himself in fire so he would continue to shine on earth as the Sun, becoming a sun god in the process. He also helped to obtain the first grains, which would feed mankind. This card represents rewards and perseverance!
The Lord of Snails grew afraid when he felt the extreme heat of the Spirit Fire, and held back. Nanahuatzin, however, fearlessly went forward and leapt into the heart of the Spirit Fire
You can find my painting of Nanahuatzin, the deiti who sacrificed Himself in order to become the Sun, in a Mexican traditional tin altar in my Etsy store!

The Lord of Snails was the senior Lord, who leaped first, but grew afraid when he felt the extreme heat of the Spirit Fire and held back. Nanahuatzin, however, when he beheld the cowardice of the Lord of Snails, fearlessly went forward and leapt into the heart of the Spirit Fire.
This is the second page in the story of the creation of the Fifth Sun, which is the sun under which we live. After having made their sacrifices, Tecciztecatl, the Lord of Snails and Nanahuatzin, the Syphilitic Lord, leapt into the Spirit Fire.

In ep.5 we see an Axolotl (Meque) according to the myth of the creation of the fifth sun, all the deities had to sacrifice themselves to give power to the sun (Nanahuatzin demanded blood to continue as the sun) Xolotl scared of death escaped
The fifth sun was chosen to be the final and eternal one, he was Tecucciztecatl, his brother Nanahuatzin was chosen to be the moon, however when told to sacrifice himself Tecuciztecatl backed down and Nanahuatzin turned into the sun.
fter having made their sacrifices, the Lord of Snails and Nanahuatzin, the Syphalitic Lord, leapt into the Spirit Fire. The Lord of Snails was the senior Lord, who was to have leaped first, but he grew afraid when he felt the extreme heat of the Spirit Fire, and held back.
We live in the 5th universe, under the light of a 5th sun. when the previous, was destroyed, the teteo asked Nanahuatzin, a crippled and misshapen lord, to sacrifice himself in order to be reborn as the sun. He did so, and on the 4th day rose into the sky as a new sun, Tonatiuh
Then Oxomoco consulted the books, and Cipactonal counted its fate, and they declared, “Nanahuatzin shall strike Tonacatepec and from its broken back release its bounty.”
The Teteo gather at Teotihuacan and ask Tecciztecatl and Nanahuatzin to sacrifice themselves in the God Oven, and so become the sun and moon. #teotihuacan #mexicanheritage #mexicaheart #nativepride
