Quetzalcoatl, as said in the last post, is a feathered serpent. His name comes from the Nahuatl language. He is the god intelligence and self-reflection; a patron of priests. Also, Quetzalcoatl is a primordial god of creation, a giver of life. Him and his opposite, named Tezcatlipoca, created the world. Quetzalcoatl was also called White Tezcatlipoca, because Tezcatlipoca was the color black. He is associated with the morning star, while his brother, named Xolotl, was associated with the evening star, or Venus. The Aztecs also believed that Quetzalcoatl gave them maize, or corn. He appears on structures in the ancient city of Teotihuacán in Mexico. Quetzalcoatl and three brother gods created the sun, the heavens, and the earth. In the Aztec creation myth, Quetzalcoatl's cosmic conflicts with the god Tezcatlipoca brought about the creation and destruction of a series of four suns and earths, leading to the fifth sun and today's earth.
