Tlazolteotl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Aztec mythology, Tlazolteotl was an earth, sex, childbirth and a mother goddess. She was referred to as "the eater of filth" because she visited people at the end of their lives who confessed their sins to her; she then ate the person's "filth" (sins).
Her son was Centeotl. She presides over the 13th trecena of the sacred 260-day year.
