Tezcatlipoca

Definition

Tezcatlipoca (pron. Tez-ca-tli-po-ca) or 'Smoking Mirror' in Nahuatl was one of the most important gods in Postclassical Mesoamerican culture and particularly important for the Toltecs and the Aztecs, especially at Texcoco. He was an invisible and omnipotent creator god, patron deity of warriors, and, as the bringer of both good and evil, he was the very embodiment of change through conflict.
