COATLICUE

It is recognized Coatlicue She is known as the “Mother of the Gods.” She represents Mother Earth, Nature incarnate. Her name means “She of the Serpent Skirt.” The serpents allude to the network of roots and rivers that, with their vitality, systematically unite the entire Body of Mother Earth so that Life may manifest. She was depicted by the ancient Mexicans on a large, impressive monolith; her head consists of two large serpents clasped in their jaws, with claws. On her breasts and chest are pairs of hearts and human hands arranged like a necklace, falling to her navel and belly, where, in addition to another pair of hands, there is a central human skull facing forward. She is entirely clothed in serpents. She can currently be seen at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.

She is recognized as the "elder" because she holds ancestral memory in all that is embodied. At the same time, she sustains the fertility of the elemental energies that make natural existence possible, for she is simultaneously Teoinan, “The Mother of the Gods”. She is the Grandmother, the oldest.

It is said that he is also the ruler of agriculture, forms of government, and everything that must be organized in space-time cycles so that life prevails in all its relationships.

She embodies the constant and fertile renewal that death brings when the material body is devoured by the earth to transmute and nourish it again.

In this lunar synchrodiary, Coatlicue represents the Winter Solstice, as her energy is dense, static, and pure receptive potential. The dry, crepuscular cold of this time, when the Sun is at its farthest point from Earth, allows her to rest, digest, and in a way, die metabolizing, recapitulating the entire seasonal and productive period that began with Spring. Now, after Autumn, when the Earth sheds all that it cannot currently nourish, she must regain strength for the organized renewal that will bring the new flowering, when the warmth and light of the Father Tonatiuh fertilize the seeds of the Earth once more. This is how Our Venerated Mother Coatlicue It sustains the fertile potential of Nature through the Power of Death and Renewal.
