COCIJO
Zapotec Rain God 🌧️
Also known as Cociyo, Gocio, Loçio, Lociyo
Top God of Generally Unpleasant Weather
He is one of the major Zapotec deities. He specializes in rain but also does Lightning and the occasional bit of Universe-creating as a bonus extra. The Zapotec people liked to get their money’s worth with their Gods.
He comes complete with a jaguar head and has a fine bifurcated snaky tongue. This forked tongue enables him to come up with lightning repartee.
He seems to be a Glyph C supporter if his headgear is anything to go by. He also likes to appear on urns. A certain amount of confusion with Tlaloc or Chac is understandable.
Cocijo will be delighted to provide your crops with a vitally important shower of rain for the modest price of just one human sacrifice.
