Aztec Stone

The forces harnessed and unharnessed by creation; birth and destruction united in a single being; the beginning and end of all; illumination and death. This is the goddess Coatlicue, who wears a skirt of serpents, which are jets of blood; who consumes filth and impurities, which are her countless sons. She is the sum of elements, concepts, and ideologies that, in modern terminology, might be called the surrealist aspect of power.
