Aztec deities' names are fun to say. But the deities themsevles are somewhat scary.

A few names...

Itzpapalotl
Coyolxauqui
Coatlique
Huehueteotl
Mixcoatl


Yes, they're spelled correctly. No, I didn't look them up. Yes, they are all gods/goddesses in the Aztec pantheon. Yes, I can pronounce them. There are some names that are FAR worse to spell and pronounce. How/why would I know such a thing? I took a class in Aztec art and history in college. I had to learn how to spell and pronouce a of these (and quite a laundry list of others!)

I am a veritabe fount of random information that you never knew you didn't want to know.
