In the dawn of time, when the cosmos was still a formless abyss, a being of immeasurable
power rose from the primordial mists, the god of night, discord and change, Tezcatlipoca.
His skin was as black as obsidian, echoing the darkness of the void, and his eye was
a smoky mirror, revealing the most obscure secrets of the human soul.
cycle.
According to the Aztecs, the universe was not a static place, but a stage for a cosmic
drama constantly in motion, based on the belief that the world had been created and destroyed
several times.
Each cycle, or sun, was ruled by a different god and ended in catastrophe, opening the
way for a new cycle.
As the god of change and transformation, Tezcatlipoca played a crucial role in this cosmic drama.
He was the first to don the mantle of the sun, ushering in the first age of the world,
known as Nahui Ocelotl.
The Age of the Jaguar In this primordial era, Tezcatlipoca ruled
supreme, shaping the world according to his will.
He brought forth the first living beings, the giants, who inhabited the Earth.
These were colossal creatures with voracious appetite and extraordinary strength.
They fed on roots and wild fruits, and their footprints were so profound that they formed
lakes and mountains.
When Tezcatlipoca reigned, the world was a wild and untamed place where nature reigned
supreme.
While Tezcatlipoca prevailed over the First World, a new force was rising on the cosmic
horizon.
The feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl.
Unlike Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl was the god of life, wisdom, and order.
He was the patron of craftsmen, farmers, and priests, the master of words and writing.
He was portrayed as a serpent covered in green feathers, a symbol of fertility and renewal.
The conflict between the two gods came to a head when Quetzalcoatl challenged Tezcatlipoca for world domination.
The ensuing battle was a cosmic cataclysm, a titanic confrontation between order and chaos, light and shadow.
With his cunning and wisdom,
Quetzalcoatl managed to knock Tezcatlipoca out of the sky, turning him into a raging jaguar.
Tezcatlipoca's fall marked the end of the age of the jaguar and the beginning of a new
one.
Now a bloodthirsty jaguar, Tezcatlipoca's wrath was vicious.
He unleashed himself on the giants, devouring them one by one.
The earth shook, volcanoes erupted and the sky was dyed red.
The devastation was total and the first world came to an end in chaos and violence.
The destruction of a first world in the fall of Tezcatlipoca taught the Aztecs a profound
lesson, the importance of balance.
His reign marred the fall of the Aztecs.
by brute force and arrogance, led to destruction and chaos. The intervention of the god of order
and wisdom, Quetzalcoatl, restored the cosmic balance, but at a dreadful cost. Despite the
destruction, hope had not been quenched. The god of life, Quetzalcoatl, survived the catastrophe
and, with his wisdom and power, established a new world, the Second Sun, which would bring with it
new challenges and opportunities for humanity.
After the Aztecs destroyed the first world, the god Quetzalcoatl the Feathered Serpent
rose as the creator god of the second sun Nahui Ehecatl, the Age of Wind.
With his knowledge and power, he shaped a new era, distinct from the previous one.
The god of wind Ehecatl donned the mantle of the sun, ruling this world with his stormy
and unpredictable nature.
