Camaxtli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Aztec and Maya mythology, Camaxtli, also known as Mixcoatl-Camaxtli, was a god of hunting, war, fate and fire (which he invented). He was one of the four creator gods, who made the Earth. The Chichimec considered him their tribal deity. He leads human sacrifices and warriors who have been slain in battle to the eastern sky, where they become stars.

Alternative name: Mixcoatl-Camaxtli-Xocotl
