“The mind should turn into a serene and stormless lake, where is reflected the complete panorama of the starry sky.” — Samael Aun Weor Quetzalcoatl - Feathered Serpent Talon Abraxas

Pantheons of gods and goddesses were all played by the same "character" throughout mythology following the same algorithm. They came from the sky - stayed to seed the human race - then left to return one day at the end of the cycle called time. They wore masks and costumes - left behind artifacts, calendars and landmarks and most importantly encoded message within human DNA to be activated when Time ran out. By any name they were our progenitors.

Quetzalcoatl is depicted in many ways usually as the feathered serpent though sometimes as a - Shining One - looking nothing like the Mesoamerican people who worshipped him. Feathers represent the ascension of human consciousness back to its origins - while 'serpent' represents human DNA in physical reality.

The Anunnaki God - Ningshiidza allegedly took on the role of Egyptian God Thoth creating civilizations replete with monuments and artifacts depicting their alleged time on Earth. Thoth allegedly flew across the planet founding the Mesoamerican Civilization where he became known as Quetzalcoatl.

Other stops along the way in the matrix of experiences on planet Earth - included the ancient civilizations of Asia, Africa, North America, and other parts of the world that no longer exist today - many sunk due to cataclysmic changes. They are all part of the simulation in the story of humanity in the bipolar (physical) realms of The Human Experiment. It's all just a story set in linear time to experience emotions with gods who will never return as the story Fades to Black when Time runs out. Quetzalcoatl is a Mesoamerican deity whose name comes from the Nahuatl language and has the meaning of "feather-serpent".

The worship of a feathered serpent deity is first documented in Teotihuacan in the Late Preclassic through the Early Classic period (400 BCE - 600CE) of Mesoamerican chronology - "Teotihuacan arose as a new religious center in the Mexican Highland, around the time of Christ…" -- whereafter it appears to have spread throughout Mesoamerica by the Late Classic (600 - 900 CE) (Ringle et al.).

In the Postclassic period (900 - 1519 CE) the worship of the feathered serpent deity was centered in the central Mexican religious center of Cholula. It is in this period that the deity is known to have been named "Quetzalcoatl" by his Nahua followers.

In the Maya area he was known as Kukulcan or Ququmatz, names that also translate as "feathered serpent" in different Mayan languages. In the era following the 16th-century Spanish Conquest a number of sources were written that describe the god "Quetzalcoatl" and relates him to a ruler of the mythico-historic city of Tollan called by the names "Ce Acatl", "Topiltzin", "Nacxitl" or "Quetzalcoatl".

It is a matter of much debate among historians to which degree, or whether at all, these narratives about this legendary Toltec ruler Topiltzin Ce Acatl Quetzalcoatl describe actual historical events. Furthermore early Spanish sources written by clerics tend to identify the god-ruler "Quetzalcoatl" of these narratives with either Hernan Cortes or St. Thomas - an identification which is also a source of diversity of opinions about the nature of "Quetzalcoatl".

Among the Aztecs, whose beliefs are the best-documented in the historical sources, Quetzalcoatl was related to gods of the wind, of Venus, of the dawn, of merchants and of arts, crafts and knowledge. He was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood, of learning and knowledge.

Quetzalcoatl was one of several important gods in the Aztec pantheon along with the gods Tlaloc, Tezcatlipoca and Huitzilopochtli.

Tawa, the progenitor sun spirit of the Hopi. Tawa is the supreme god amongst the Hopi, with everything that exists tracing its origin to Tawa. At the beginning of Time, the only thing that existed was Tawa and the Spider Grandmother. These two came together to birth the Kachinas, the lesser gods. Tawa used his immense power to create the universe, while the Spider Grandmother used hers to create the mortal creatures. The universe contained a multitude of different dimensions or worlds, the Spider grandmother guided the Hopi through the first three. However the third world was corrupted by the hearts of evil men, so in response Tawa sent a flood to destroy the world that turned to villainy. The spider Grabdmother saved the mortals who held kindness in their heart, sealing them within reeds to weather the storm. Upon the flood’s conclusion a bamboo shoot grew into the sky, with the Hopi climbing it, reaching the fourth world, where humanity now lives. A tradition still present today has mothers present their newborns to Tawa, who grants them blessings and protection.

Unlike the eastern tribes of Native Americans, many of the western tribes including the Hopi were able to preserve more of their culture and mythology. This is both due to them being originating further away from the colonies, and thus being able to record their traditions and fight for them once westward expansion boomed. There are several different tellings of the Hopi’s cosmogenic myth, in some Tawa is credited with the creation of the world and the gods alone, in other myths Spider Grandmother is only his servant and not his consort, in another less common myth life was created by the two Hard Being Women with Tawa only observing them. According to some traditions creation was undergone by Tawa’s son Sotuknang who in turn created the Spider Grandmother, however this myth is the only reference to the deity Sotuknang, possibly implying it was a later and less popular addition to the mythos, however this is purely conjecture. Tawa’s status as a supreme sun god connects him to the many other indigenous mythologies of the Americas, most prevalently in Mesoamerica as many of their mythologies revolve around the sun, represented in their deities like the Yucatec mayan Itzamna, and the K’iche’ Mayan Ququmatz. This archetype also corresponds to deities outside the americas as well, most recognizable among them being the Egyptian Ra.

Would it be dumb of me if I made a Ququmatz dragon out of an Auroboa orrrr nah?

Day 23: “Ancient”

The feathered serpent, Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan, Q’uq’umatz, or Tohil. I love how mysterious Mesoamerican mythology is, and I most definitely love this guy’s design. (Along with good boy Tlaloc)

Different Types Of Dragons: Part One

hello, hello! welcome back to my page! so this post will be about dragons.

I was working on a fantasy short story and I recently finished it and I had different types of dragons included, so I figured I’d make a post about it.

1. Western Dragon:

are Dragons with four legs and a pair of wings for a total of six limbs.

The term Western Dragon comes from the Dragonology-series of books.

also a generic term for describing any and all European dragons in legends and folklore.

In Japan, all dragons from western myths are called doragon, while in eastern myths they are called ryū

most western dragons in fantasy look somewhat dinosaur-like.

were created as the embodiment of ancestral fears humans had for big cats, snakes, birds of prey and bats as they generally resemble some amalgam of these real animals.

western dragons often called True Dragons.

2. Oriental Dragon:

Oriental dragons have serpentine bodies, four legs and no wings, and can fly.

They are said to be a composite of various other animals-the body of a snake, the antlers of a deer, the talons of an eagle, the soles of a tiger, the scales of a carp, and the eyes of a demon

They are found in folklore, mythology, and religion all throughout East Asia.

Oriental dragons were known to not terrorize people unlike the western dragon.

These dragons were said to been guardians.

They were also said to have been the protectors and controllers of both the Earth's elements and its weather.

they can have different amount of toes depending on their depiction.

3. Dragonnet:

The Dragonnet is a small dragon.

They are just as vicious as their western counter parts.

They are quite rare.

Dragonnets have the same look as a classical western dragon.

It has the same scales, claws, and horns. It can fly and breathe fire.

The only difference between the two are the size.

Dragonnets are human-size or smaller.

Dragonnets live and hunt in packs.

A group of dragonnets can easily bring down a human victim, and have poisonous blood.

Most dragnets stay away from settled areas.

They live on high, cold mountaintops, where they survive by eating the babies of larger dragons.

Sometimes they sneak into a dragon's nest after killing one of its offspring. They act like babies to get free food and protection from the unsepecting parent.

4. Wyvern:

is a dragon that most recognizably has two legs as opposed to four

are distinguished as smaller, more animalistic variants of the modern dragon that may or may not have a poisonous stinger at the end of their tail

they are typically weaker, smaller, and less intelligent in comparison to the modern dragon, overall having animalistic tendencies and serving as apex predators

They may or may not have a breath weapon

Additionally, a new classification of Wyvern, the pseudowyvern, which are wyverns that use their wings as forelegs

5. Quetzalcoatl:

is a Mesoamerican deity whose name comes from the Nahuatl language and has the meaning of "feathered-serpent"

has no limbs only wings and feathers

in the Maya area he was known as Kukulcan or Ququmatz, names that also translate as "feathered serpent"

the worship of Quetzalcoatl sometimes included animal sacrifices, and in colonial traditions Quetzalcoatl was said to oppose human sacrifice

There you have it folks! I couldn’t find all the different types of dragons in one post, so I’ll make a part two soon!

Feel free to like, comment and reblog if you find it interesting!

The Feathered Serpent

Known as Ququmatz to the Ki'che, Ehecatl to the Huastecs,  Kukulkan to the Maya, and most famously, Quetzalcoatl to the Aztecs, he is the god of the wind and rain, wisdom and knowledge, agriculture and the arts. He is the inventor of the calendar and the creator of the world itself.

Off the top of my head: Erzulie, Ququmatz, Heimdallr, Hoyau, Kanaloa, Kotoshironushi, Saladin, Tonatiuh, Bombo.

Is there any demon that has never been 3D modeled that you'd like to see in a recent game in the franchise? Morrigan and Israfel are on the top of my list.

Many!

That Special Feeling of Christmas

Maria walked into a meeting room, with Kukulkan and Ququmatz in tow.

“are you sure about this idea, mija?” Ququmatz asked Maria.

“Sure, I'm sure. I have more than enough authority as an Underworld goddess to make this happen!” She said, confidently.

“I have faith that she'll manage!” Kuku added.

Using her authority, Maria summoned a large stone gate, shaped like a skull, opening up in the middle of the room. Varying gods came out of the gate, gathering into the room.

Suddenly, Maria shifted into a somewhat horrifying appearance, fitting for an Underworld goddess. “GREETINGS MY SUBJECTS! I HAVE SUMMONED YOU FORTH FOR ONE EXPRESS PURPOSE”

All the underworld gods who had been summoned stood in attention to her. Eyes pointed straight at her, with the upmost respect.

“I HAVE SUMMONED YOU- to help me with Christmas!” Mari says, as she turned back into her more standard appearance.

All of a sudden, those summoned seemed to have lost some of the fear and respect they originally had. Now being skeptical and a lil insulting.

“SILENCE!” Shouted Ququmatz, with rageful burning eyes.

The gods stopped their prattling, and stood at attention again.

“You guys know Christmas, right?” Maria asked them.

One of the gods, Xquic, spoke up. “I've heard something about it. Is it like a celebration of winter or something?”

Mari sighed in response, “not exactly. It takes place in winter, but it doesn't celebrate winter. Uh, the history is complicated but there's various things celebrated. Family, love, peace, the winter solstice, this one pretty important Messiah figure for this one religion. That kinda stuff.

Then another god, Chamiabac, commented “Wait, what was that last-”

“Eh, that's not super relevant for us. Instead we have something else to worry about.”

Then the Camazotz of PHH questioned “and what would that be?”

“Santa Clause!” Mari said. “Here in Chaldea, every year around Christmas, one servant gets to be the Santa for the year. Their job is to deliver presents and/or spread ‘Christmas joy’ in some way shape or form. And this year, that's my duty!”

Then another god, Miccapetlacalli also had a question “So where do we come into this?”

“I need someone to help me get ready! This is a big job, and I can't just do everything. I need people to help make the gifts, help with my outfit, and inevitably there will be fighting too-”

Then someone interrupted Maria.

“Oh fighting?!” Cabrakan said. “I can definitely handle that!”

“I enjoy the enthusiasm.” Mari said.

Then the Queen of the underworld raised her hand, and had a question. “Could you give us a few examples of aspects to Christmas?”

Mari thinks for a bit. “Well I have a few things.” She picks up a present “this is a present! Starting with a box, wrapped in paper and ribbons!”

Some gods now had questions. “Oh what's in it?”

“Is it a heart?”

“Is it bones?”

Mari clarified “the point is to not know, but it could be anything!”

“Very morbid of them” Kukulkan commented.

“That's their default setting.” Ququmatz explained.

Mari then picked up a stocking. “Now this is a stocking! We hang it up on the wall, and fill it with treats!”

More gods commented

“Is that where the bones are?”

“Or maybe eyes?”

“Maybe cacao?”

“Maybe some blood?”

“Blood would ruin the sock!” Kuku corrected them.

“The cacao was closer, but only by so much.” Mari explained.

Maria then picked up a Christmas tree. “This is the tree! Covered in lights, topped with a star, and underneath is where we put the presents.”

“That star is kinda small” said Cabrakan.

“It's not a real star” Ququmatz said.

“Don't be so stupid, brother!” Zipacna scolded.

Mari tried to get them to understand. “Very rarely would some of these gifts include things like blood or hearts. Tho, since the purpose is just to make the recipients happy, it could theoretically include those things! Like for all of you!”

Suddenly the gods got excited!

“Hearts and bones?” One said.

“Sacrifices for us! What an exciting festival!” Another commented.

Suddenly Mictlantecuhtli raised himself up, and in a deep and intimidating voice said “as the feared and dark gods of the underworld, we rarely get our pick of the better offerings. Especially after those damn hero twins cursed our lands. If we were to receive such quality sacrifices and offerings, we'd be happy to assist you, Miquitzlicoatl.”

“Well that's amazing to hear.” Maria responded.

Everything seemed to be going great!

Then, after assigning the gods their duties, Mari took Kuku and Ququ somewhere else.

“Everything's looking good Mija!” Kuku said.

“Si! Looks like things will go smoothly!” Ququ said.

“It's good to see things go smoothly!” Mari said “but also I wanted to tell you guys something.”

“What is it?” Kuku asked.

“Well, Blonde Mama had been Santa before. But that was before you two came, and as such you missed out. So I wanted to help remedy that.” She said.

“What are you saying?” Ququ asked.

“While I'll still be Santa, would you two be willing to be my Reindeer?” She asked them.

Simultaneously they both said “OH!!!!”

Ququ said “Oh that'd be great!”

“We’d love to, mija!” Kuku said.

Now Mari was a Santa with not only helpers, but reindeer too! Everything had been going oh so smooth so far! But I can't help but wonder if things will stay that way.

Day 987

After her conversation with Astraea, Maria went looking for her mother.

Mari: mama?

Ququ and Kuku: ¿si, mija?

Mari: oh, uh... I meant blonde mama.

Kuku: Oh, she's helping decorate at the cafeteria.

Ququ: why do you need her?

Mari: uh... it's about the Santa business coming up.

Kuku: are you going to try and get her to take the Santa role back?

Mari: oh, I shou- no! Not that. Something else instead.

Ququ: oh?

Eventually, Mari went and found Quetzalcoatl.

Mari: Mama! Uh, could I ask you a big big favor?

Quetz: Oh, mija? What would that be?

Mari: uuuh, could you possibly ask Martha if I can be the next Santa?

Quetz: ....que?

Mari: oh c'mon! I know you heard what I said!

Quetz: wh-why do you want to be the next Santa?

Mari: cause Astraea questioned if I could or not, and I wanna prove I can!

Quetz: are you sure about this? Every Christmas, something goes wrong.

Mari: of course I can! Whatever comes I'll handle it!

Quetz: hmm, I'll think on it.
