2. HISTORY
Huitzilopochtli (or “hummingbird”) was the chief god of the Aztecs and was called their god of war. According to legend, it was Huitzilopochtli that urged them to leave their original homeland and led them to the Mexico Valley region.

3. HISTORY
 Huitzilopochtli is a member of an extra- dimensional race of beings known as the Coatli who were worshipped as gods by the Mayan and Aztec Empires. Two of the Aztec gods, Camaxtli and Mixcoatl, had seduced the primeval earth-goddess, Gaea, in her role as the Aztec goddess, Coatlique, to sire worthy sons to follow them. Camaxtli fathered the sun-god,  Huitzilopochtli, and Coyolxauhqui, the moon-goddess.

4. HISTORY
Huitzilopochtli was a fierce god who used the “serpent of fire” (the sun’s rays), to destroy his enemy siblings, the moon and stars. So as the battles of day and night continued, the Mexica (Aztec people) recognized his victories over darkness with each new sunrise

5. HISTORY
But know that Huitzilopochtli is a cruel god to those who turn away from him! how our ancestors once became soft after founding Tenochtitlan. They grew complacent with their trades and luxuries. Huitzilopochtli is a god of war, not peace! Remember how Huitzilopochtli called upon his priests to betray the daughter of the King of Atonteco, wearing her skin before his eyes in the manner of Xipe Totec, the flayed god of corn.
