Ometecuhtki & Omecihuatl - The Beginning

[GOvectorZ 970]

Time to play with shapes again, Aztec inspired.

 

 

 

 

In the beginning was the void.  It was at some ancient time in the Aztec creation story that the dual god, Ometecuhtli / Omecihuatl, created itself.  (Looking back, of course, the Aztecs believed that the many opposites that they saw in the world would have to somehow unite in the origin of the world.)  This god was good and bad, chaos and order, male and female.  Being male and female, it was able to have children.  It had four, which came to represent the four directions of north, south, east and west.  The gods were Huizilopochtli (south), Quetzalcoatl (east), Tezcatlipoca (west), and Xipe Totec (north).

Same here Gov, I remember learning about them and the Incas in primary school, we did loads of projects on them and I would spend hours decorating my work with Aztec inspired borders lol
