Citlalicue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Aztec mythology, Citlalicue ("star garment"; also Citlalinicue, Ilamatecuhtli) was a creator goddess who created the stars along with her husband, Citlalatonac, the Milky Way, earth, and also death and darkness.[1] This pair of gods are sometimes associated with the first pair of humans, Nata and Nena.[1]

In tonalpohualli, Citlalicue is the Lord of the Day for days that land on the 13th of the month (mahtlactli-omei in Nahuatl).[1]
