Reviews
Historian Townsend, who focuses on Indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere, sets the record straight by drawing mainly upon Indigenous primary sources... The writing is scholarly but engaging. The stories flow one after the other, which makes this book more of a extended reading experience than a quick-reference tool. That experience is worth the time to rediscover more authentic 'Aztecs.'

Synopsis
The essential guide to the world of Aztec mythology, based on Nahuatl-language sources that challenge the colonial history passed down to us by the Spanish. How did the jaguar get his spots? What happened to the four suns that came before our own? Where was Aztlan, mythical homeland of the Aztecs? For decades, the popular image of the Mexica people - better known today as the Aztecs - has been defined by the Spaniards who conquered them. Their salacious stories of pet snakes, human sacrifice and towering skull racks have masked a complex world of religious belief. To reveal the rich mythic tapestry of the Aztecs, Camilla Townsend returns to the original tales, told at the fireside by generations of Indigenous Nahuatl-speakers. Through their voices we learn the contested histories of the Mexica and their neighbours in the Valley of Mexico - the foundations of great cities, the making and breaking of political alliances, the meddling of sometimes bloodthirsty gods - and understand more clearly how they saw their world and their place in it. The divine principle of Ipalnemoani connected humans with all of nature and spiritual beliefs were woven through the fabric of Aztec life, from the sacred ministrations of the ticitl, midwives whose rituals saw women through childbirth, to the inevitable passage to Mictlan, 'our place of disappearing together' - the land of the dead., The essential guide to theworld of Aztec mythology,based on Nahuatl-languagesources that challenge thecolonial history passed downto us by the Spanish., Nanahuatzin, who jumped into fire to become the Fifth Sun the wild Chichimecs the god Tezcatlipoca, "Smoking Mirror" Chimalxochitl, who sacrificed herself for her people Quetzalcoatl, the "Feathered Snake" and creator deity the curse of the year One Rabbit the goddess Quilaztli, who helped women seize a life from the universe in childbirth the kingdom of Tollan, mythical motherland of the Mexica the nahualli, powerful sorcerers Mictlan, land of the dead the ceremonial calendar Huitzilopochtli, divine protector of the Mexica the Tlaloque, bringers of rain the Seven Caves Nezahualcoyotl, the "Poet King" the tonalpouhque, soothsayers who could determine the fate of newborn children

    Picture with the ordering information is not the cover of book that is received. Book shown has the title in big letters under the sword, and the one received has the title in small letters above the sword. I am, still, very happy with Seller for their excellent ordering, packaging and shipping of book. I hope to find other items from them to purchase, sometime. Thanks!
