| l | In the Aztec
religion little distinction was made |
|||||||||
| between the
world of the gods and the natural order. |
||||||||||
| l | Hundreds of male
and female gods representing |
|||||||||
| rain, fire, etc.,
were worshipped. |
||||||||||
| l | They can be
arranged into three major divisions. |
|||||||||
| l | The first
included gods of fertility, the agricultural |
|||||||||
| cycle, maize, and
water. |
||||||||||
| l | The second group
centered on creator deities: |
|||||||||
| Tonatiuh, warrior
god of the sun, and Tezcatlipoca, |
||||||||||
| god of the night
sky, were among the most powerful. |
