Atl
(Water)
You are depth. Emotional, cleansing, capable of destruction. You carve canyons slowly. You flood without warning.
Deity: Xiuhtecuhtli
The Mythology
Water was the element of the first world in Aztec cosmology, destroyed by flood when the gods deemed it necessary. Atl represents the dual nature of water — nurturing and destructive, gentle and overwhelming. Associated with Xiuhtecuhtli, the god of fire (for water's opposite is fire's complement), those born under Atl carry immense emotional depth. They can nurture like rain or destroy like flood.
