This is my school blog for my Learning Project. In this blog I will be studying things related to Aztec culture such as gods, activities and rituals so on and so forth. My goal for this blog is to 'dumb it down' so the average person can read it and understand a little bit more about these topics. Lets face it, not everyone can read an article on the Britannica Encyclopedia, but it doesn't mean that they don't want to learn a little bit.

Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror (Mirror referring to the obsidian shined and used as a mirror for divination by priests). He was the god of mysticism and shamanism. Ruler of Time and the North.
