Xipe Totec was the god of agriculture, vegetation, the east, silversmiths, goldsmiths, life, death, and rebirth. In some accounts, Xipe is said to have been the son of the fertility god Ometeotle, and his feminine counterpart was Xipe Totec. However, the deity associated with the day Cuauhtli was Xipe Totec, the god, not the goddess.
