Tlazolteotl

Tlazolteotl is a goddess from Aztec mythology associated with purification, fertility, and sexuality. Often depicted as a woman with dual aspects, she represents both the nurturing side of motherhood and the darker aspects of lust and temptation. Tlazolteotl is known as the "goddess of filth" because she absorbs sins and impurities, allowing for spiritual renewal. Devotees would seek her forgiveness and guidance for a fresh start. Her role emphasizes the duality of human nature, highlighting how fertility and sexuality can lead to both creation and moral challenges in life.
