One story says this deity was offended that the hermit Jappan left his family to make a home in the desert, so this deity got him turned into a scorpion by seducing him. The Florentine Codex claims that she slept with the planet Mercury, in his form as the solar deity Piltzin-tecuhtli. She wears a headdress with two spindles of cotton when she goes by the epithet Ixcuina, which hints at her origin as a Huastec goddess from the coastal region. Her most famous son was Centeotl, the god of maize, and she's capable of splitting into four sisters of different ages. She invented the sweat bathhouse called the temescal, which makes sense since she's a purification deity who absolves those who commit adultery. Often depicted with a bunch of black bitumen around her mouth, for 10 points, name this Aztec deity known as the "Eater of Filth."
