COYOLXAUHQUI
Aztec Moon Goddess 🌝
Also known as Coyolxanuhqui
Miss Golden Bells the Moon Goddess
Daughter of Coatlicue.
She caused a lot of domestic bother after disapproving of her mother’s bedroom liaison with a ball of feathers.
But from Coatlicue’s pregnant womb sprang new brother Huitzilopochtli, who was somewhat over-protective of his mum and cut Coyolxauhqui’s head off. Still, the lad made the best of a bad job and flung her head into the sky, where it became the moon. We don’t know who installed the bells.
