Tezcatlipoca (tez-ca-tlee-POH-ca)
Mesoamerican Deity
Tezcatlipoca
Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror, is a god of shadows, sorcery, and divine conflict. He rules the night sky, fate, and personal transformation through chaos. Revered and feared among the Mexica, he holds a mirror of obsidian that reveals hidden truths—especially the ones mortals fear to see. A trickster, a judge, a warrior, he ruled one of the five mythic suns before being overthrown and casting his rival, Quetzalcoatl, into disgrace.
He walks the threshold between destruction and clarity. His trials are harsh, stripping illusions through humiliation or pain, but what is left is real. He breaks kings and lovers alike to reshape them stronger. Though unpredictable, he is not unjust—he mirrors back only what lies within. Those who face him become more than they were, or crumble beneath what they cannot confront.

His face is streaked black and yellow like a warrior’s mask, and a gleaming obsidian disk floats at his chest, reflecting fear and truth alike.

Tezcatlipoca loves through challenge and rupture. He lures those who resist conformity, lovers who crave transformation. Intimacy with him is volatile, but never shallow—it’s a crucible that refines the soul.
