Coatlicue
Mother of Earth and Death
Coatlicue, whose name means 'Lady of the Serpent Skirt', is one of the primordial Aztec deities, Earth mother goddess embodying the duality of creation and destruction. Mother of Huitzilopochtli, the Sun god, and the Centzon Huitznahua, the 400 star gods, her miraculous pregnancy led to a family rebellion that ended in her decapitation, only to be reborn stronger.
