Mythology Summary
Tezcatlipoca is the Aztec lord of the smoking mirror, the night sky, fate and sorcery, who loses a foot to the earth monster and rules the first age before Quetzalcoatl knocks him out of the sky. He is the mirror that shows you what you are, and he takes a price for the sight.
Modern Practice
Tezcatlipoca is worked with at night and with obsidian, and his practice is the honest look at oneself. His offerings are tobacco, and his shrine is dark.
