Join us this time on Mythology Stew as we hear one of the varying tales of the Birth of Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec (Mexica) war-god. The Southern Hummingbird, Huitzilopochtli, was revered by the Aztec peoples and even had blood sacrifices made to him. His temple in the Aztec capital marked the Winter Solstice, dry season or the traditional war season for the Mesoamerican people. If you'd like to learn about Huitzilopochtli and other mythological figures, tune into Mythology Stew! (Other Resources Available below).
