Quetzalcoatl
Aztec deity of wind, learning, and creation, depicted as feathered serpent. Quetzalcoatl represents the union of earth (serpent) and sky (bird), matter and spirit. He brought agriculture, calendar, and arts to humanity. His self-sacrifice and promised return influenced Aztec culture profoundly. Quetzalcoatl embodies wisdom, civilization, the culture-bringer, and the reconciliation of opposites. His association with Venus as morning star connects him to cycles and rebirth.
