Deities associated with the rites: Tezcatlipoca, Huitzilopochtli, Huehuetéotl, Yacatecuhtli, Ometochtli. Main Rites In this twenty-day period, the main rites focused on two aspects: the arrival of the gods to Earth and the celebration of Huehueteotl, "old god," the god of earthly fire. In the last days of the During the twenty-day period, the arrival of the gods was awaited; on the nineteenth day, cornmeal was placed on a mat in a temple. A priest would periodically check it, and when he found a footprint in the flour, he announced that the gods had arrived. Then wind instruments were played, and the people offered balls of corn dough. The first god to arrive was Tezcatlipoca, and the last to arrive were Yacatecuhtli, the god of merchants and travelers, who came from afar, and Xiuhtecuhtli, god of fire, who could not move quickly due to his age. After the arrival of the gods, a ritual was performed in which prisoners of war, their bodies painted with colored stripes—indicating that they represented the Mimixcoa—were thrown alive into a bonfire and pulled out before they died, their hearts extracted, and they were decapitated. After their sacrifice, these Mimixcoa became stars. Other rituals of this twenty-day period had as their central element the Pulque and Ometochtli, “Two Rabbit,” one of the gods associated with this beverage. Enrique Vela.
