Itzcuintli
(Dog)
You are the guide. Loyal beyond reason, you lead souls through darkness. You guard the threshold between worlds.
Deity: Mictlantecuhtli
The Mythology
In Aztec belief, a hairless dog (xoloitzcuintli) would guide the soul through the nine levels of Mictlan, the underworld. The dog was so trusted that they were buried with their owners to ensure safe passage. Those born under Itzcuintli are guardians of thresholds — loyal beyond death, they guide others through darkness and transformation. Their devotion is absolute.
