Tezcatlipoca&#8217;s obsidian foot irritated Quetzalcoatl, who thought Tezcatlipoca was a representation of the night. Tezcatlipoca was knocked out of the sky by Quetzalcoatl, and Tezcatlipoca changed into a jaguar and devastated the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fire, night, discord, rulership, divination, conflict, seduction, beauty, and strife are all symbols of fire.
