My engraving of Moctezuma I from 1584 by Andre Thevet
Although his Moctezuma looks a little Roman, Thevet travelled to the Americas and likely saw Aztec authentic weapons like the ones depicted.

Differences in ancient aztec/mayan sorcery
What are some differences between the two?
My biggest interest is in the shapeshifting aspect of mesoamerican religions and its been pretty hard to find non-aztec (mayan) results everywhere I search. Did both of them practice the use of nagualism in black magic?

Found a map of my hometown. Map of Cempoala, where they made the Tembleque aqueduct.
It dates to 1580 and I ordered a print out. Does anyone have any other ideas of how to display it in my house? Or decorate it? Or any other ideas of how to go more in depth with this map.

Can someone help me translate the below "An Invocation to Ometeotl" into the native Nahuatl language? It's for a toltec studies group in prison.
An Invocation to Ometeotl (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)
Ometeotl, we thank you for allowing us to have this meeting.
We beg you, Ometeotl, with all our heart, that you illuminate and clear our thoughts, because we want to honor you with this work.
Notice that not all of us have forgotten what you have given us; the beloved Earth, the beloved Sun,
the beloved Wind, and the beloved Water.
Thank you so much for all of that.
We want to be better, that is why we are here.
We want to learn a little more about how to care for
this Earth that you have given us.
Thank you so much.

St. John Telpochtli
According to some people, there were a group of people in Mexico post-conquest that continued to honour Tezcatlipoca under the name of "St. John Telpochtli" or St John. I can't seem to find any information of this online, so could someone confirm or disapprove this, or give some more context?
