Aztec Gods
As the Aztecs landed on the Valley of Mexico under the leadership of their chieftain Tenoch, they also brought with them their own Gods and their religious customs and beliefs. Here is Allwondersoftheworld providing you information on the various Aztec gods. Religion has always had a place of special importance in the lives of the Aztec people. The Aztecs revered several gods and goddesses, and they believed that each of them controlled one or the other aspect of the human beings and nature at large. Since agriculture was an important and integral part of their lives, so they had many gods who they believed would control the forces of nature and help them prosper in their agricultural endeavors. Since some of the Aztec gods were malicious and some benevolent, the people believed that they should be appeased and thanked at all costs in order to avoid their wrath. Aztecs had the barbarous ritual of human sacrifices as they thought inflicting pain on body is the best means to ask for forgiveness. Lets find out more on the gods in details.

Chalchiuhtlicue

From the paintings and the art we gather that Chalchiuhtlicue was presented as the deity who wears a green skirt and the dress is segregated into vertical divisions. The flowing dress resembles a flowing stream, which has pears growing on one of the banks. According to the mythology of the Aztecs, Chalchiuhtlicue was considered to be the goddesses who not only played a vital role in the birth and baptizing of the Aztecs and she was also the goddesses of water bodies like lakes and streams.
