Lord/Lady of MictlanThe king of Mictlan (Chicunauhmictlan), the lowest and northernmost section of the underworld. Depicted as a blood-spattered skeleton. His wife was Mictecacihuatl. Mictlantecuhtli and his wife were the opposites and compliments of Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl, the givers of life. After Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca created the world, they put their creation in order and placed Mictlantecuhtli and his wife in the underworld. The twin gods Feathered Serpent and Dog-man were sent by the other gods to steal the bones of the previous generation of gods from Mictlantecuhtli. The god of the underworld sought to block Quetzalcoatl's escape with the bones and, although he failed, he forced Quetzalcoatl to drop the bones, which were scattered and broken by the fall. The shattered bones were collected by Quetzalcoatl and carried back to the land of the living, where the gods transformed them into the various races of mortals.

Serpent SkirtThe Aztec goddess who gave birth to the moon, stars, and Old Zillah, the god of the sun and war. She is also known as Grandmother and Serpent Lady the patron of women who die in childbirth. She was sacrificed during the beginning of the present creation. She was once magically impregnated by a ball of feathers that fell on her while she was sweeping a temple, and subsequently gave birth to the gods Feathered Serpent and Dog-man. Her daughter Face painted with Bells then rallied Serpent Skirt's four hundred other children together and goaded them into attacking and decapitating their mother. The instant she was killed, the god Old Zillah suddenly emerged from her womb fully grown and armed for battle. He killed many of his brothers and sisters, including Face painted with Bells, whose head he cut off and threw into the sky to become the moon. In one variation on this legend, Old Zillah himself is the child conceived in the ball-of-feathers incident and is born just in time to save his mother from harm
