Xochiquetzal -Aztec

Goddess of the flowering Earth

    Xochlquetzal represents the first of four stages of Aztec development, a world of flowers, beauty and new awakening.
    Xochiquetzal resided in a heavenly paradise of gardens and fountains where she was attended by a host of deities, and entertained by a retinue of musicians and acrobats who were also able to paint, spin and weave to perfection.
    The Aztecs also worshipped her as the goddess of spinning.
    As goddess of Love, Xochlquetzal was also his linked with several other gods.
    There is an uglier side to her nature, and as goddess of the Underworld, she could also be destructive and dangerous.
