Teōtl: Nextlahualli

The act of sacrifice binds together the Teōtl and their worshippers in reciprocity and mutual gratitude. The Teōtl sustain the World so that humanity can live in it, and in turn their worshippers sustain their Gods through sacrificing flowers, goods, animals, and human lives. Nextlahualli, literally meaning “debt repayment,” describes the cyclical relationship of offerings and obligations at the heart of Teōtl worship. Through this Purview, the Teōtl and their Scions draw sustenance and empowerment from sacrifice and wield that power on behalf of their worshippers.
