Mirror and the Shadow
Tezcatlipoca was THE central diety in Aztec religious
life.
You don't hear much about Tezcatlipoca in popularized Mesoamerican
anthropology since it is not politically correct to attribute to "indiginous peoples"
the wholesale embracing of a Satanic point of view. Yet Tezcatlipoca was ubiquitous
and in his 4 major guises we find the creator of the Aztec peoples- Huiztlipochtli,
the lord of creativity- Quetzalcoatl, the "flayed god" of fertility- Xipe Totec,
and Tezcatlipoca himself known variously as:
the adversary
the mocker
the one called night
the page
the crackler
the night drinker
the
lord of enchantments
the priest
night axe
the little orphan
the
single god
he whose people we are
the little sufferer
the enchanted
jaguar
the changer of hearts
the youth
the sage
the skilled doctor
These
following phrases were taken from spells and incantations used for the usual purposes
of insuring the harvest, safe travel, good health, curing illness, settling scores,
etc. This is a starter kit of Aztec Black Magic for you to build freely from.
Combine the phrases any way you wish, repeat them as often as you wish, make them
as long or as short as you wish, even utter them without knowing the English translation.
you need know nothing about the nature of the Aztec god Tezcatlipoca other than
his above stated identities. you need not dedicate an entire ritual to this theme,
use as much as you want in any current ritual. You can make a dedicated Aztec
ritual as short as 1 minute in length if you wish, a mere gesture is ok. It is,
however, important that you include a small quantity of any of the following items/materials
in your Nahuatl invocation and hold a sample of same in either or both hand(s)
while uttering the Nahuatl phrases.
corn meal
corn husks
corn ear(s)
chili peppers
ground chili
feather(s)- any kind
chocolate- any kind
obsidian
jade
pulque/mezcal/tequila
copal incense
The eating
and drinking of any of the appropriate materials is fine. Feel no embarassment
about the difficult pronunciations. Just do it & let Tezcatlipoca worry about
the fine points...
