Patecatl

Codex Borgia

Patecatl
Patecatl is the Lord of the Land of Medicines, a god of healing and fertility. He is the husband of Mayahuel.

With Mayahuel, he is the father of the Centzon Totochtin (Four Hundred Rabbits), the divine rabbits, and the gods of drunkenness. Like Mayahuel and the Centzon Totochtin, Patecatl himself is a god of pulque, the alcoholic beverage made from the maguey plant.

Patecatl is the protector of the 12th day of the tonalpohuall, day Malinalli (grass).
