 ====== Tlazolteotl ======
-**Tlazolteotl** is a [[teteo|God]] of [[tlazolli|filth]] and purification.
+**Tlazolteotl** (Tlazolli God)[(https://nahuatl.wired-humanities.org/content/tlazolteotl)] is a [[teteo|God]] of [[tlazolli|filth]], illicit sexuality, and purification. She is also known as Tlaelcuani (Eater of Filth)[(https://www.mexicolore.co.uk/aztecs/gods/goddess-of-the-month-tlazolteotl)], Tlazolmiquiztli (Death caused by Tlazolli), and Ixcuina or Ixcuinan (Huastec: Ix Cuinim, Deity of Cotton), the latter of which refers to a quadripartite association of four sister [[teteo|Deities]].

+She is said to inspire vice and transgression, and also to forgive and cleanse those who partake. Her priests offered services of confession and purification which could only be undertaken once in someone's life, meaning the rites were most common for the elderly.

-==== Community Gnosis ====
+Tlazolteotl's most defining features include a pair of spindles of cotton resting on Her headdress, and black paint around Her mouth symbolizing Her role as a filth-eater. She is also frequently depicted with lunar iconography such as a //yacametztli//, a crescent moon shaped nose ring, as well as a black and red skirt adorned with yellow or white crescent moons. She is also sometimes depicted with a coral snake, representing lust. Because of a heavy overlap between Her and the Goddess [[Toci]], She can also be depicted with white face paint and a broom made of straw.
