One interpretation of a myth says that this deity performed self-sacrifice, along with Tecciztecatl and Nanahuatzin, to create the sun. Another myth states that this deity was involved in the creation of the wind deity Ehecatl, who is usually an aspect of one of this god's children. This deity was the subject of a murder plot by Coyolxauqui who rallied the "four hundred southerners" into a mass beheading, until another deity sprang into life fully armed and slew them. Known for wearing a necklace of hearst, ahnds, and skulls and a skirt of writhing snakes, she was impregnated by a ball of feathers while sweeping a temple, leading her to birth twins. FTP, name this mother of Xolotl, Huitzlipoctli, and Quetzalcoatl, the Great Mother goddess of Aztec mythology.
