WHY IT'S AWESOME? Traveling to paradise?? Ancient Aztec civilizations believed that offerings of Snowflake Obsidian to the striking skeletal warror goddess, Itzpapaloti would open the portal to spiritual realm, spirit animals, and the spirit of Mother Earth. Itzpapaloti ruled over the paradise world of Tamoanchan and could appear in the form of a beautiful, seductive woman or terrible goddess with a skeletal head and butterfly wings supplied with obsidian stone blades. She was believe to bring the power of femininity and the balance of duality.
