What does tlaloc mean?
- tlaloc
- Tlaloc (Classical Nahuatl: Tlāloc [ˈtɬaːlok]) is a deity in Aztec religion. The supreme god of the rain, Tlaloc is also a god of earthly fertility and of water. He was widely worshipped as a beneficent giver of life and sustenance, as well as feared for his ability to send hail, thunder, and lightning, and for being the lord of the powerful element of water. Tlaloc is also associated with caves, springs, and mountains, most specifically the sacred mountain where he was believed to reside. His animal forms include herons and water-dwelling creatures such as amphibians, snails, and some sea creatures, particularly shellfish. The Mexican marigold, Tagetes lucida, known to the Aztecs as yauhtli, was another important symbol of the god, and was burned as a ritual incense in native religious ceremonies. The cult of Tlaloc is one of the oldest and most universal in ancient Mexico. Although the name Tlaloc is specifically Aztec, worship of a storm god, associated with mountaintop shrines and with life-giving rain, is as at least as old as Teotihuacan, and was likely adopted from the Maya god Chaac, perhaps ultimately derived from an earlier Olmec precursor. An underground Tlaloc shrine has been found at Teotihuacan.
