A lot of illustrations are included in this book which is about the
sky religion of the Aztec people. There were 4 interwoven yet
distinctive religions. There were others such as fire, earth, and
the cult of Tezcatlipoca. Central in the sky religion is Quetzalcoatl,
the Feathered Serpent, the great sky dragon, son of the dawn
and the earth and the slayer and awakener of the light.

Quetzalcoatl and his powerful cult of priest, had their origins
on the Gulf Coast and in time reached through Mesoamerica,
merging with Mayan cults, and into North America.

Quetzalcoatl was the wind, the god of priest, the god of blood
sacrifice. He was at once a culture hero, a god of warriors, a
god of the underworld, the evening star, the god of the Aztec
ball game-the great cult act of the sky religion. And always he
was the god of the fearsome night, who held in his power to
resurrect or withhold the dawn.
