Aztec: Aztec Culture
built 634 days ago
At its pinnacle Aztec culture had rich and complex mythological and religious traditions, as well as reaching remarkable architectural and artistic accomplishments. A particularly striking element of Aztec culture to many was the practice of human sacrifice.
A special soup called pozole ... contained large kernels of maize and, of course, another of the Aztec foods was simply corn on the cob. Maize was so important in the Aztec culture that it was even an important component of their religion.
The Tetzkatlipoka Tradition is a part of the Mexikayotl or Aztec culture and its purpose is to develop consciousness. The foundation of this tradition is a system called Nawi Ollin Teotl (Movement of the Four Energies). There are four great energies in the Universe. When these energies move in a favorable manner they generate harmony and supreme balance. Four fundamental levels ... form human beings: the physical body (nakatl), the mind (matik), the emotional (pampa), and the energy field (tonalli). When these four aspects are in balance in the individual, they will allow the soul (newatl) to manifest and flow in the most optimal way.
