Aztec deity of music, dance and games

Duek Glez (direct translation): Aztec deity of music, dance and games. The patolli players, invoked him before starting a game, in his house they offered him incense and food. Music as an invocation to life, in this case to the god of the wind “Quetzalcóatl”, who in his wake creates life and resurfaces his warriors, “ocelopilli” the warrior guardian who resurfaces from his stone armor.
