XIPE TOTEC
Aztec Agriculture God
Also known as Xipe
Aztec God of Spring, Agriculture and flaying people alive
He’s the son of Ometecuhtli. The one who wears the flayed skins. Only for fertility reasons you understand. Each spring, victims were flayed alive in his honor.
He also looks after goldsmiths. And we have it on good authority that he is responsible for a number of plagues, scabs and boils. Do goldsmiths ever get boils?
