Historia

Stories derived from the Codex Telleriano-Remensis characterized Huehuecóyotl as a benign

prankster, whose tricks were often played on other gods or even humans, but tended to backfire
and cause more trouble for himself than for the intended victims. A great party-giver, he also
was alleged to create wars among humans to relieve his boredom. He was a part of the
Tezcatlipoca (Smoky Mirror) family of the Mexica gods and inherited their shapeshifting powers.

Those who had indications of evil fates from other gods would sometimes appeal to
Huehuecóyotl to mitigate or reverse their fates. Huehuecóyotl shares many characteristics with
the trickster Coyote of the North American tribes, including storytelling and choral singing.[4]

Like all Aztec deities, Huehuecóyotl was dualistic in his exercise of good and evil and was
perceived as a balanced god. Depictions of his dark side include a coyote appearance (non-
human) with black or yellow feathers, as opposed to the customary green feathers.

He was the only friend of Xolotl (god of twins, sickness, and deformity) and accompanied the
dead to Mictlan, the underworld of Aztec mythology. Their association was born from the canine
nature of both gods.

He is also the god of deception.[2]

Sobre
Day sign Xochitl

Huehuecóyotl (or Ueuecoyotl) is a Mexican mythology deity. He is depicted in the Codex

Borbonicus as a dancing coyote with human hands and feet, accompanied by a human
drummer. The name "very old coyote" conveyed positive meanings to the Aztecs; coyotes were a
symbol of astuteness, worldly wisdom, pragmatism, male beauty, and youthfulness. The prefix
"huehue", which in Nahuatl means "very old", was attached to gods in Aztec mythology that were
revered for their old age, wisdom, philosophical insights, and connections to the divine. Although
Huehuecóyotl often appears in stories as male, he can change gender much like many of the
offspring of Tezcatlipoca can. He also can be associated with indulgence, male sexuality, good
luck and story-telling. One of his prominent female lovers was Temazcalteci (also
Temaxcaltechi), the goddess of bathing and sweat baths (temazcalli), also known as Mexican
sauna. Another was Xochiquetzal, the goddess of love, beauty, female sexuality, prostitutes,
flowers, and young mothers.

In most depictions of Huehuecóyotl, he is followed by a human drummer or groups of humans

that appear to be friendly to him (as opposed to worshiping), which is exceptional in
Mesoamerican culture.

The fourth day of the thirteen-day Mexican week belonged to Huehuecóyotl.
