Last week, while in Mexico City, I paid my respects to Tláloc, the Aztec rain deity, both at the Templo Mayor and Museo Nacional de Antropología (National Anthropology Museum).
I’m now back in Oaxaca and, for the third day in a row, Tláloc is making his presence known. And, rain is in the forecast for the next several days.
Thunder is rumbling and, out of the corner of my eye, I see flashes of lightning to the east. It may be the “dry season,” but Tláloc is speaking and we are listening.
Perhaps drought-stricken California might want to build a temple to this supreme god of the rains — not to mention, institute mandatory water rationing!
Could you contact Tlaloc again and redirect him to Modesto??
Thanks!

Looking up toward Monte Albán, I sprinkled a little mezcal on my doorstep, and asked him to pay California a visit. 😉 I still don’t understand why there is no mandatory water rationing!
But there again is he responsible for the dire flooding in other parts of North America 🙂 ?
Been to both museums before… and both are immensely interesting !! Think I recall a giant Tlacoc outside The Nat. Musuem of Anthropology.
Btw, the first pic in Templo Mayor looks strikingly similar to the Mayan Chacmool… Deity cousins perhaps 🙂 ?
I think Tlaloc is not happy with what humans are doing to Mother Earth. 😉 And, yes, there is a giant Tlaloc outside the museum, but didn’t manage to get a good pic. Next DF visit!
