CHALCHIUHTOTOLIN
Aztec Sickness God
The Precious Night Turkey
He is a manifestation of Tezcatlipoca in the form of a magnificent bird. A strange choice for a God of Pestilence and Mystery. It is a mystery we are reluctant to unravel.
There is a picture of him in the Codex Borbonias that is so utterly weird it must be seen to be disbelieved. In the midst of seemingly undecipherable symbols he is dressed in a turkey suit and seems to be vomiting into a large pot.
We may need to come back to this later, but not without a stiff drink or two first.
