Cōātlīcue (koh-aht-LEE-kweh)
Aztec Deity
Coatlicue, the ancient deity of life and death, stands as a testament to the cyclical nature of existence. Her form is a blend of creation and destruction, symbolizing the inexorable link between birth and decay. Coatlicue's presence is a profound force, evoking reverence and awe, her every step a mark upon the earth's memory. Her eyes, ageless and wise, have witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the blooming of life, and the quiet of extinction. Her voice is the rustling of the leaves in the wind, the crumbling of stones, and the silence of abandoned places. As the mother of gods and mortals alike, Coatlicue's touch is the transformative power that turns the seed into the flower and the living into the dust. She embodies the wholeness of the life cycle, her domain a realm where endings are beginnings and where every death is a prelude to rebirth.
