Huitzilopochtli

~ Huitzilopochtli ( “Hummingbird”) ~

The primary god of the Aztecs and is known as their god of war.

Based on legend, it had been Huitzilopochtli that advised them to depart their traditional homeland and guided them to the Mexico Valley area.


It's thought that once they left the region of what's now the south western U.S., these people nomadically moved south and reached the location where they constructed the city of Tenochtitlan.
