| | A brief Introduction |
| | On its basics, our mythology says that Coyolxauhqui was the Goddess of the Moon, daughter of Coatlicue and sister of the Centzonhuitznauac, the 400 Stars (in aztec mythology, 400 commonly represents the infinite). | | | But you may understand that this is pretended to become a story readable by visitors of all ages and convictions, and that's why I'm not including any of the bloody traditions that surrounded those Gods' venerations. | | | Offended by this, Coyolxauhqui and her sisters decided to kill their own mother, who was very sad but was constantly consolated by her unborn son, who may talk to her. |

| | For the Chicano community, discovering the myths of our ancestors contributes to the redefinition of our identity as people who live in "nepantla" (between two worlds). | | | Through the representation of Coyolxauhqui, a moon goddess who is killed and dismembered by her brother Huitzilopochtli, a sun and warrior god, we analyze the definition and redefinition of the myth's symbolism. | | | The second mythical character we portray in the sacrifice region is the great Coatlicue, a mother earth goddess and keeper of the temple of the gods. |
