Quelzacoatl (Intermediate God)
Quetz.alcoatl is known all over Middle America as the feathered-serpent, god of the wind. He is also a god of wisdom, a teacher of peaceful arts. and the protector of the Second Sun. Long before Tenochtitlan’s founding, Quetzalcoatl was chased from the Valley of Mexico by a rival god. Before leaving, he promised to come back in 500 years and avenge himself.
The Aztecs are awaiting the noble god’s return with trepidation,
for he would not approve of many of their current practices. He makes his home on Venus, where he appears as a flying serpent covered with green feathers.
