Daysign Tecpatl

The protector of day Tecpatl (Stone Knife) and the provider of the Shadow Soul or Tonalli is Chalchihuihtotolin. Tecpatl is a day of grave ordeals, a day of trials and tribulations. It is a good day to test one's character, a bad day to rest on one's past accomplishments or reputation. Tecpatl warns that the mind, the spirit, must be sharpened like the glass blade which cuts to the marrow of truth
