The lil guys on my shelf behind my desk.

Tlaloc, Jiraya, Tezcatlipoca, Mictlantecuitli, Coatlique, Quetzalcoatl and Huitzilapochtli.

oh it's #WorldSnakeDay !
I drew this an age ago, it's part of the head of Coatlique.

I have a joke about Coatlique. You’ll just gush over it.

Heard it was national snake day, so instead of drawing a new snake (I'm too tired), here is one i did in 2015! Based on a statue of Coatlique (Mother of the Gods, Goddess of Earth, Nature, Fertility, Life and Death)

Did somebody say #artshare? 🐋 I'm Astrid I do mythology/history art, mostly mesoamerican but I branch out from time to time 🐳

I am a Daughter of the Goddess.
Call her Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate,
Demeter, Inanna...
Call her Lady of the Lake, Danu,
Brighid, Rhiannon, Blodeuwedd, Cerridwin...
Call her Artemis, Freya, Bast or Sekhmet...
Call her Coatlique, Spider Woman, Sedna...
Call her Sarasvati, Kali, Pele and Yemaya.

Coatlique manifests on Whiskey Row . . .

Here’s the Coatlique statue for reference

And then there's Coatlique, "snake skirt", the Aztec Mother Goddess. With a skirt woven from rattlesnakes, a human skull for a belt buckle, a necklace of human hearts and hands, and a twin rattlesnake vizor instead of a face, she makes Kali look like Mary Poppins.

Wednesday 11/6: Protest Trump

After the jury hears what I have to say they are going to be pissed off at the prosecutor. I get to help select the jury. My social work studies and experience will pay off. I'm going to win. I'm going to Dance Coatlique right there when I hear not guilty. War whoop around.

According to the Codex Chimalpopoca and surviving Nahuatl oral histories, Coatlicue was an incredibly powerful entity whose reproductive capabilities broke all cosmic laws.
