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