Quetzalcoatl: Winds
built 233 days ago
Quetzalcoatl und Tezcatlipoca In der aztekischen Mythologie ist Quetzalcoatl der Gott des Windes, des Himmels, der Erde und ein Schöpfergott. Er symbolisiert den Ozean. In Teotihuacán wurde er früh als Naturgott verehrt (Tempel des Quetzalcoatls). Sein wichtigstes Heiligtum lag in Cholula. Er galt als Herrscher des zweiten Weltzeitalters. Die These, der aztekische Herrscher Moctezuma II.
It has been suggested several times that the energies of Christ and Quetzalcoatl are the same or at least closely associated. If nothing else, it was in the baktun ruled by Quetzalcoatl, AD 40-434, that Christianity expanded to a world religion. This, in contrast to many of the religions that had preceded it, brought a message of love and forgiveness to mankind. On a symbolic level the Cross of Christianity was an expropriation of the World Tree and Quetzalcoatl was really the Serpent that in so many traditions was winding around the World Tree and in this symbolism the two energies are immediately connected.
Men therefore, are the children of Quetzalcoatl. He is always presented as benevolent. He wears about his neck a "Wind Jewell" made from a conch and his head was adorned with a jaguar bonnet or sometimes a small cap. A sharp bone protrudes from the headgear which flows the blood that nourishes his nahualli, the Quetzal bird.
