Xochipilli

Symbol of growth, fertility, love, pleasure, and creativity.

Xochipilli was the Aztec god of art, games, beauty, dance, flowers, and song. He represented the joy and pleasure of life, often depicted as a youthful figure surrounded by flowers and playing musical instruments.

Xochipilli was associated with creativity, festivity, and the natural world, embodying the essence of happiness and artistic expression.

He was known as the Flower Prince and had a human wife.

He is pictured sporting a teardrop-shaped mother of pearl pendant.

He wasn’t a vengeful deity; rather, he was a laid-back god who wished for everyone’s prosperity and happiness.

Xochipilli is immortalized on a statue depicting him in a trance surrounded by hallucinogenic flowers.
